<em><u>Answer:</u></em>

  • It was located on high ground above the river.

<em><u>Explanation:</u></em>

The Mississippi was too flooded at the time. Vicksburg was "the key," as U. S. President Abraham Lincoln named it, to the Union overseeing the stream. Lincoln took a gander at a guide of the Mississippi River and saw that its clasp turn before Vicksburg, which sat high on feigns over the stream, made pontoons going in the two ways defenseless against mounted guns shoot from the Confederate batteries on the shore line and on the high feigns.  

Control of the Mississippi River amid the American Civil War was a financial and mental factor for both the North and the South. For a long time, the stream had filled in as a fundamental conduit for mid-western ranchers sending their merchandise toward the eastern states by method for the Gulf of Mexico. The ranchers, alongside government officials and traders, disliked the possibility of the waterway being shut as a result of Confederate mounted guns approaching along the banks where the "Father of Waters" moved through the Confederacy.

In an economic downturn, what can happen in countries that depend on high taxes to fund social programs?
mestny [16]

If there's an economic downturn in a country where the taxes are very high, and those taxes are used for the funding of the numerous social programs, than the country can very quickly face high rates of poverty and maybe even an internal conflict.

If the economy suddenly starts to crumble, the people that work would not be able to support themselves with the paying of very high taxes, thus they will rebel against that in order for the taxes to be lowered down.

On the other hand, that will result in little to no funding for the social programs. That will bring in revolt in the people that are very poor and need those programs, but also the people that do not work by their will but have relied on those money.

These two sides of the picture can easily bring in a lot of violence, tensions, even a revolution.

Following Reconstruction, many southern leaders promoted the idea of a “New South.” To what extent was this “New South” a realit
nordsb [41]
The New South movement was an effort by southern leaders to integrate the South more fully with the rest of the US and to do away with the old plantation-based economy. It largely failed to gain significant momentum in terms of race relations and economic development by WWI.

9. What was the role of African men in WWI, WWII and Vietnam?
muminat
WWl

More than 350,000 African Americans served in segregated units during World War I, mostly as support troops. Several units saw action alongside French soldiers fighting against the Germans, and 171 African Americans were awarded the French Legion of Honor.
WWII

Despite a high enlistment rate in the U.S. Army, African Americans were not treated equally. At parades, church services, in transportation and canteens the races were kept separate. A quota of only 48 nurses was set for African-American women, and the women were segregated from white nurses and white soldiers for much of the war. Eventually more black nurses enlisted. They were assigned to care for black soldiers. Black nurses were integrated into everyday life with their white colleagues. The first African-American woman sworn into the Navy Nurse Corps was Phyllis Mae Dailey, a Columbia University student from New York. She was the first of only four African-American women to serve as a Navy nurse during World War II.
