Answer:

The turning point of the Civil War was the Battle of Gettysburg, fought near Gettysburg , Pennsylvania , on July 1-3, 1863. The Northern Virginia army, commanded by Confederate chief commander, Gen. Robert E. Lee, faced the Union Army of the Potomac headed by Gen. George G. Meade. After having smashed Union forces at Chancellorsville, Lee invaded the North for a second time. The battle lasted 3 days of ferocious, bloody and brutal fight. The most famous part of the battle is the charge of Gen. George Pickett´s division with 15,000 men against the lines of the Northern infantry, an action that ended in utter failure. The stakes were high: Lee had invaded Northern territory and wanted to advance to Washington to force the Abraham Lincoln´s government to negotiate peace in disadvantage. His defeat not only forced him to go back to Virginia: the South was never able to threaten the North again and since that moment on, fought only on the defensive. Casualties mounted to 51,000 on both sides, the bloodiest single battle of the war.

Pls help I will give brainliest !

Answer: I would support this endeavor, because we are running out of resources on Earth. Colonizing Mars would also open up new jobs on and off Earth. Some would argue that we could better spend that money on helping save our planet rather the colonizing a new one. I would have to say good luck, getting the oil executives and other current un-renewable energy executives to sign up for that one. It would take hundreds of years and more money to switch from where we are now to completely renewable. Also the benefits of the scientific boom from that kind of money being put into those programs would be enormous, and not just in the space exploration. It would also help just about every other scientific field as well.
