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.

Jet001 [13]
<span>Confucianism is a set of philosophical beliefs in how to live that emphasizes family and social harmony. It is at its core humanistic and not spiritual. One of its core beliefs is that people are generally good and that they can be taught and improved through personal and communal endeavors. Basically, people should be willing to get along with each other with a minimum of conflict. With that in mind, let's look at the options. A. To have a stable kingdom, rulers must be toughened warriors who rule absolutely. * FALSE. This is in direct conflict with the precepts of Confucianism. Instead of getting along with each other, people have to be forced to act properly. So don't pick this. B. Families set an example for all of china to follow. * TRUE. Everyone is a member of an extended family and should be willing to deal with each other as they are. C. Family obligations are important. * TRUE. Obligations to others need to be fulfilled. And family obligations are the most important of all. D. The key to good behavior and good government is concern for others. * TRUE. If you're concerned about others more than yourself, then your actions will automatically be for the greater good of society. E. Laws are the basis of an orderly society. * FALSE. There should be no need to creating laws upon more laws if everyone is already working towards the greater good. Laws are more useful for indicating to people without a moral foundation as to actions they should or should not take. But if you have a solid moral foundation, laws are superfluous.</span>

Were Belgium actions in the Congo a genocide?
Vlad1618 [11]
Like the previous person said, the belgium actions in the congo are considered atrocities, not genocides. although king leopold did kill many of the natives, people debate whether it should be considered a “genocide”. it’s more appropriate to label it as an atrocity than a genocide.
