Surrender in war means a person or group must give up control of something of value to another person or group. The terms are the promises each side makes to the other so the conflict is ended.

For example, in 1865 at Appomattox, Virginia, some of the terms of surrender included allowing soldiers to return home as long as they gave up all their military supplies. They could keep their horses or mules if they owned them. The Union would also provide them with food. These are examples of terms that could be offered at the end of a battle even though these specific terms were unusual. A more common practice was to only allow the losers to collect and bury the dead.

When Confederate General Simon Buckner sent the surrender letter to the Union forces, he asked for the terms of surrender. General Ulysses S. Grant did not offer such terms at Fort Donelson. Instead, he wanted “unconditional surrender,” meaning there would be no bargaining. By having no terms offered to them, the Confederates had to give up or continue to fight. They agreed to surrender without terms, winning an important victory for the Union. It was this event that earned Grant the nickname of “Unconditional Surrender” Grant, a new meaning for his initials U.S. Grant.

In what ways were socialism and communism a response to the social and economic conditions that developed in Europe during he in
Elza [17]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Socialism and Communism were a response to the social and economic conditions that developed in Europe during the Industrial Revolution because the Industrial Revolution started a notorious economic inequity or disparity in the society. The wealthy owners of the industries became richer, meanwhile, the poor workers became poorer.

Two of the conditions that concerned socialist and communist thinkers were the low salaries that workers earned in the factories and the unhealthy conditions in which they worked. Workers labored for long hours daily under unhealthy conditions that created many risks, and of course, they did not have medical attention or insurance. The places had no ventilation at all and workers had to operate machines that created risks for the untrained workers.
