The correct answer is C. Christopher Columbus


He went west and reached the Americas, believing that he had reached East Asia. That is why people started calling the natives Indians because they believed they were in India and not in a completely new continent. He died not knowing that he never found India.

Write an essay highlighting the reason why Africa has been labelled the cradle of humanity
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

The idea that humans evolved in Africa can be traced to Charles Darwin. In his 1871 book The Descent of Man, Darwin speculated that it was “probable” that Africa was the cradle of humans because our two closest living relatives—chimpanzees and gorillas—live there. However, he also noted, a large, extinct ape once lived in Europe millions of years ago, leaving plenty of time for our earliest ancestors to migrate to Africa. So, he concluded, “it’s useless to speculate on the subject.”

Identify how Robert E. Lee responded to the Battle of Vicksburg.
Stells [14]

Answer:

He would strike again into the North to force a Union retreat from Vicksburg to defend its home territory and

he sought to develop a military strategy that would persuade Copperhead Democrats to end the war.

Explanation:

Vicksburg was one of the Union’s most successful campaigns of the war. Although General Ulysses S. Grant’s first attempt to take the city failed in the winter of 1862-63, he renewed his efforts in the spring.

After defeating a Confederate force near Jackson, Grant turned back to Vicksburg. On May 16, he defeated a force under General John C. Pemberton (1814-81) at Champion Hill. Pemberton retreated back to Vicksburg, and Grant sealed the city by the end of May. In three weeks, Grant’s men marched 180 miles, won five battles and captured some 6,000 prisoners.
