Answer:

Confederate General James Longstreet ___________________.

a) has no statues dedicated to him in the South because he joined the Republican Party after the Civil War.

Explanation:

General James Longstreet honorably served the US Army before joining the Confederate forces in the prosecution of the American Civil War of 1861 — 1865.  After the civil war, Longstreet criticized Robert E. Lee’s war tactics.  He later gave his support to Lincoln’s Republican party in the interest of his former friend's (Ulysses S. Grant) 1868 presidential campaign.  These two actions caused him some repeated attacks on his character in the South.  However, he later served as the US Turkish ambassador as well as a railroad commissioner.  He died in 1904 at the age of 82.

What features did the british and dutch east india companies share?
anastassius [24]
The companies were more about controlling an area's economy more than grabbing and controlling land. By controlling the economy, they could better profit off the areas, with little to no political impact. However, when needed, they could and would use their political might. The wealth that the companies had gave them great leverage in the political world.
