President Jefferson knew that the US was not really strong enough to fight an all-out war with either of the European powers. Therefore, he decided to try to use “peaceable coercion” to force them to respect US rights. He used the Embargo Act to do this. Congress passed a law ending all trade with foreign countries.

Anyone know the outcome of the battle of Locust Grove?
dlinn [17]

Hello there!

The battle of Locust Grove was a small battle, compared to other battles during the American Civil War. This battle took place on Native American land, due to the fact that they didn't really claim the land yet.

The outcome of the battle of Locust Grove was that the <u>Union won the war</u>. The reason why they won this war is because the Union made a surprise attack against the Confederates, the confederates during the time of the surprise attack were actually split up, so when the attack happened, they would have no time to come together to fight because they were all split up during the fight; giving the Union an advantage during the fight. This attack pretty much applies to the term "It's better to fight in larger groups." The confederates had a hard time during this attack because they were outnumbered by multiple Unions. For example, a confederate could be by themselves while 3 Union members comes and ambush them, and of course the Union would win that small fight because they had more man power, and this pretty much happened during the surprise attack. After the Union beat the confederates, they pretty much took all of their supplies.
