Grierson was forced to go south.

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

Benjamin H. Grierson was the volunteer in Union Army's Cavalary General during the Civil War. Vicksburg is a place situated in western Mississippi that was under the control of the Confederate army. Benjamin was supposed to move towards the west to conduct a daring attack in the Vicksburg against confederate.

But he moved towards south since Major General planned on something big than attacking Vicksburg directly. The Union army was divided into three divisions. Grierson rode south with 1,700 men from La Grange starting his raid at the dawn. He struggled a lot while getting to the Vicksburg and wrote two other cavalries the easy way to reach the destination.

Winston <span>Churchill won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1953 for his lifetime body of work.
</span><span>
Churchill’s mother Lady Randolph (Jennie Jerome) was an American born in Brooklyn, which of course made Winston half American.

</span>While serving a dual role as a war correspondent and military officer in South Africa, Churchill <span>was taken captive by the Boers. He was able to scale a wall and sneak out one night. After hiding in a mineshaft and sneaking aboard a train, he was able to rejoin the fight after a week.
</span>
He was also accident prone and still managed to make it to 90 years old!
As a child, Churchill suffered from concussions and ruptured kidney while playing on a bridge. Once, he nearly drown in a Swiss lake (yikes!). He fell from multiple horses (done that). Dislocated his shoulder (painful!) disembarking from a ship in India. Crashed a plane while learning to fly (if he was alive i wouldnt want him piloting any plane im on). Was hit by a car while crossing 5th Avenue in New York (again, painful!)
<span>What an adventure!</span>

Churchill suffered from depression all his life, but his mental health deteriorated markedly in his final years. It didn't help that one daughter was suicidal while another was a drunkard. His physical health also continued to decline, and he suffered a series of strokes.

valina [46]
In the factory system, the work is conducted on site by employees of the factory or company.  In the putting out system, work is subcontracted to outside employees who conduct their own in off-site workspaces (their own homes or in smaller shops).  In the factory system, work is localized and there tends to be a stronger output of good.  In the putting out system, there is no need to pay for and monitor a factory.

What impact do third parties and their candidates have on U.S. politics?
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

Negligible most of the time, or being able to flip a major party's success at best.

Explanation:

The United States is known to be using a mostly 2 party system ever since the nation was created. The current two major parties are the Republican Party and the Democratic Party, and currently are the only two that actually win presidential elections. At best, the the largest third party (Independents) have seats within Congress, but never have they actually have a representative elected as president.

However, note what I stated at the end of the answer. Third party representatives within the US government is essential to be won over especially when trying to pass controversial party-aligned bills that may not garner support from the opposition. In cases like these, the major parties would try to appease the third parties in order to flip the majority vote to their side. In this case, they play an important role in influencing the US politics, but in any other cases, they are merely representative at best.
