Answer:

<u>1. What does General Longstreet say about the enemy when he speaks with General Lee?</u>

That the enemy was anxious.  

At that time, Longstreet managed to surround the enemy's capital. The enemy was aware of this and heightened their defense because they're expecting an attack. Longstreet believed that at that time it's better to not lose cool and wait. Anxiety tend to resulted in mistakes and that's when they should strike the enemy.

<u>2. Why doesn’t General Sam Hood want to take the hill? </u>

Basically because the enemy had an <u>advantageous position</u> in the high ground. During gun fights, having high ground were extremely beneficial since it made your troops became harder to be hit.

Sam hood believed that the troops did not have enough numbers to override this disadvantages, so he didn't really want to risk it.

<u>3. Colonel Chamberlain’s men are the end of the line of the Union army. What would happen if Colonel Chamberlain’s men retreated?</u>

At that time, Colonel Chamberlain and his men had the role to hold the enemy's line and distract them. While the distraction occured, other unites of the army will flank the enemy from the side and took over the high ground.

If Chamberlain retreated, the<u> enemy wouldn't be distracted and they could see the flank far before it came</u>. This would made it impossible for the union to took the high ground.

<u>4. What did Colonel Chamberlain do when his men ran out of ammunition?</u>

After they ran out of ammunition, Colonel Chamberlain used bayonets and charge down into the two Alabama regiments. Bayonet is a knife that attached to the edge of your gun. So it kind of acting like a spear.

At that time, Chamberlain believed that his unit should hold the line at all cost in order for the union to achieve victory. Even though melee attacks was risky, he believed that it's worth the sacrifice.

Which theory explains why rocks found on the ocean floor are younger than those found on continents?
Katarina [22]
It is because of subduction<span>: oceanic crust tends to get colder and denser with age as it spreads off the mid-ocean ridges. It gets so dense, that it sinks in the upper </span><span>mantle </span><span>(subduction). This is like a giant recycling system for oceanic lithosphere! Because continental crust is lighter than oceanic crust, continental crust cannot subduct. We therefore still have some very </span>old continental rocks<span> at the surface of the Earth.</span>

What would you do if the state that you live in was considered a slave state yet you were against slavery?
drek231 [11]
Probably either move or keep my mouth shut. In history, the banning of the slave trade was a hard and smartly fought battle. There were people who spoke out about slaves but because it was the norm no one wanted to speak up about it. Mostly slave trade is banned now thanks to William <span>Wilberforce.</span>
