1. The Union army fought very poorly for the first year of the war, experiencing defeats at the First Battle of Bull Run and every other major battle up to the Second Battle of Bull Run. Despite the string of defeats, the Union Army was not beaten but was dispirited. Morale was very low. Most of the army withdrew to positions north of the Potomac River to regroup. Confederate President Jefferson Davis wanted to end the war, which he believed he could do in one of several ways: Defeat the main force of the Union army, take Washington, DC, topple the Lincoln government, or gain recognition from major European powers. Davis ordered General Lee to cross the Potomac and put pressure on Washington. As the Confederate Army drew near to the capital, the Union army was quickly organized to engage and the two armies met near Sharpsburg, Maryland, along Antietam Creek.

Lee chose his best tactic based on the fact his army was vastly outnumbered. His tactic was to maintain a defensive posture causing Union General McClellan no choice but to use offensive if he wanted to send Lee and his army back to Virginia.

But, several problems occurred because of this system of government. For example, It is became really hard for the central government to collect taxes from the states. The earliest form of the articles of the Confederation didn't provide the central government with the power to overrule states' authority in case they make violations like not paying taxes.

The democratic and republican parties have vastly different stances when it comes to the importance of climate preservation, healthcare, preservation of forests, and clean energy. Because of this, fossil fuel and oil industries tend to contribute mostly to the GOP, while climate preservation and green energy companies tend to fund the democratic party. The Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act (BCRA) of 2002, also known as "McCain-Feingold", is the most recent major federal law affecting campaign finance, the key provisions of which prohibited unregulated contributions (commonly referred to as "soft money") to national political parties and limited the use of corporate dollars in elections.
