Grant’s policy to win the war was one of what

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

Grant's policy to win the war was one of attrition.

Attrition is a gradual reduction in work force without firing personnel, as when workers resign or retire and are not replaced. Or in other words, it is a reduction or decrease in numbers, size, or strength (can be used in "ACW" terms)

<h2>What was General Ulysses S. Grant's strategy to win the war? (American Civil War)</h2>

It's critical to keep in mind that Grant wasn't solely responsible for the overall plan he employed during the war's final year. Lincoln urged that Confederate forces be struck and that Confederate cities and logistics be disregarded in favor of striking the enemy where he was, as described in James McPherson's book Tried by War. Lincoln's insistence on this at the expense of actions that would have had a larger immediate impact on the Confederate ability to prolong the war contributed in part to the "butcher" label placed on Grant. Grant would have sent half of the Army of the Potomac below the James River in order to push on Petersburg in May 1864, which would have certainly resulted in a shorter conflict and far fewer losses. Grant had the most crystal-clear vision of everyone as to how the Union could and should win the war: deny the Confederacy the resources necessary for it to wage war. Making the Anaconda Plan work first and foremost means seizing control of all significant Confederate harbors in order to prevent the supply of weapons and equipment from Europe. (In his narrative, he frequently laments how he was unable to carry out the attack on Mobile that he had planned, first because to Banks' Red River campaign and subsequently as a result of the sluggish and uncooperative generals on the ground.)

As a department commander in the Mississippi Valley, Grant's largest grievance, incidentally, was with licensed trade that occurred between the Union and Confederacy. Lincoln's government actually let traders to cross the lines and buy cotton using gold coin, which the Confederates would employ to transport drugs and other contraband from the Union. This was because the North was in such dire need of raw cotton. Grant thought that the commerce had bolstered the rebellion while weakening Union war resolve by fostering corruption. (And he felt a great deal of personal humiliation about the whole situation because his own father was heavily involved in the cross-border commerce.) Grant supported stealing or destroying indigenous Southern industries in addition to blocking Confederate trade overseas. As a result, the main Confederate cities—New Orleans, Richmond, Nashville, and Charleston—were captured and held while lesser towns were destroyed. This naturally included agriculture, which is why he specifically instructed Sheridan to remove all livestock from the Shenandoah and why he authorized Sherman's march into Georgia. Finally, Grant thought that steady pressure from all Union troops acting together would be the best way to achieve this on all fronts. By 1863, Grant realized that the Confederacy's greatest strength was their ability to shift troops from one dangerous location to another because Union forces kept starting and stopping without applying constant pressure to the enemy. Grant was well aware of the manpower and logistical limitations of the Confederacy. He thought that by applying continued pressure to the rebel troops, they would be forced to retreat or capitulate in the face of considerably superior forces. Grant's initiatives, as we all know, had a mixed record of success and were not completely implemented. Lincoln and Stanton (especially Stanton) interfered quite a bit. Grant's feeling of urgency for quick action was not shared by the majority of other Union generals, allowing the Confederacy to continue temporarily moving forces to fulfill demands. However, when massive casualty lists failed to do so, it was the conquest of Confederate ports, the obliteration of Confederate industry and agriculture, and the ensuing collapse of the southern economy that eventually shattered the rebel will to fight. In that regard, Grant's plan was the best one—and it worked.

How does the theme of movement apply to our study of the Great Depression (Dust Bowl)?

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Also during the 1930s, at the same time as the Depression, the Great Plains region of the United States experienced an extended and destructive drought. The drought had a significant and destructive effect because of policies that reached back for decades. In 1862, the United States Congress passed the Homestead Act, and many Americans from the East moved into the plains to become farmers and ranchers. The farmers replaced the prairie grass with dry land wheat, and the ranchers had their cattle graze on the grass that was not replaced. Over time, with increasing demands for wheat, more farming occurred and damage to the prairie lands began to be long-term and significant. In 1930, a decade-long drought began, and the winds began to create dust storms on the farmed and overgrazed prairies. They literally began to be blown away. Some accounts and photographs record giant clouds of dust that would cover the sky and sun. This dust covered everything and reshaped the terrain. The “Dust Bowl” was a term referring to 19 states in the central and south-central United States that felt the brunt of the drought upon land that was mismanaged. Farm families had little choice other than to head west and try to find work. The same Resettlement Administration that was coordinating the Greenbelt Project and attempting to address rural poverty was also overseeing the farm workers and displaced sharecroppers who were forced to leave the stricken prairies of the Dust Bowl in search of work.

This historical era is commonly taught in high school social studies and history courses. The National Center for History in the Schools identifies this period in U.S. History as Era 8, Standard 1 (The causes of the Great Depression and how it affected American society) and Standard 2 (How the New Deal addressed the Great Depression, transformed American federalism, and initiated the welfare state). Related works of literature, such as The Grapes of Wrath and other texts, are sometimes used either in a social studies/U.S. history course, or in English language arts or American literature classes.

The photography of the Dust Bowl and Depression era is vast and rich, with images that were often commissioned by the Historical Section of the Farm Security Administration (FSA). FSA Director Roy Stryker approved the commissioning and collecting of more than 270,000 photographs. It was a very specific and focused part of the FSA. FSA photographs “exploited the convention of the documentary style—such as black-and-white prints and uncontrolled lighting—that signified topicality, social concern and social truth” (Stange, 1992, p. 130). These photographs were commissioned from a large group of photographers who worked in rural and urban areas across the country, and were intended to provide the urban and suburban population of America with images that would evoke humanitarian responses to the plight of those facing adversity from the economic and environmental crises of the 1930s.

This photo collection is not intended to be comprehensive. Rather, it provides several specific photographs and ways to use them in the study of particular topics. This is meant to serve as a model for creating collections of photographs to use with your curriculum. Resources listed in the bibliography at the end of this collection will help you do this.

Briefly explain the meaning and importance of ""the doctrine of chances or averages"" referred to by Wallace.

Trava [24]

"The Doctrine of Chances" is a theory that was proposed by Alfred Russell Wallace that related to the theory of natura selection of Darwinists. This doctrine is what we now consider "statistics." Wallace's idea was to use this doctrine of chances and averages in order to study population genetics.
