The two state solution was that Israel and Palestine would coexist as two countries. Palestine did not and does not like this idea. Israel has accepted it and would live with a Palestinian state. However, Palestine has said it will never recognize Israel. Palestine hates Israel and the Jews. People around the world are hopeful that the two state solution will work one day. It is unlikely unless Palestine will agree to allow Israel to exist.
Confederacy:
- Much more experienced leaders (towards the beginning of the war)
Union:
- Larger army
- much more industrialized
- had more goals to fight for than the Confederates
etc
etc
hope this helps
Nothing really. the war was already over but the troops from both sides didn't find out until after the battle. I guess it just saved the city from being destroyed.
