General Ulysses S Grant wanted to wear down the Confederacy's forces, and cut the Confederate army off from supplies and food that would enable them to keep fighting. 

<span>Grant knew that the Union had a superiority of numbers and supplies, while the South had no more soldiers in reserve and dwindling resources. If Grant and President Lincoln remained persistent, it was only a matter of time before the Confederacy would be placed in a position of surrender but at great cost to both sides in casualties. </span>

<span>Grant and the Army of the Potomac fought a series of battles against General Robert E Lee and his Army of Northern Virginia. Grant suffered losses of tens of thousands of men, but kept pushing Lee farther and farther south, also losing men every day. </span>

<span>One of Grant's strategies was to bring the war to the South, destroying resources and railroads and homes. Grant cut off Confederate supplies by sending forces into the Shenedoah Valley, the major food source of the Confederate armies. US General Philip Sheridan fought a series of battles against the outstanding defense of CSA General Jubal Early until Sheridan finally controlled the entire region and destroyed the South's major agricultural base. </span>

<span>Grant sent General William T Sherman on a similar mission farther south, beginning by capturing the major city of Atlanta. Sherman then marched across Georgia, destroying crops and railroads, all the way to the port of Savannah. Sherman then turned and marched north to approach Lee's army from the south. Lee's forces, depleted by casualties and desertions, were under intense pressure from all sides. Grant's forces began to win every encounter, US cavalry destroyed Lee's supply trains, and by April 9 of 1865 Lee surrendered his army to Grant. The surrender of the last Confederate army unit occurred in June of 1865.</span>

What is a possible drawback to direct democracy? How might it be resolved?
aliina [53]

A drawback might be that there are a lot of people that need to vote in the country of a direct democracy. That is a lot of numbers to keep track of and a lot of time dedicated just to voting.


This could be resolved through an easier way of counting the votes and keeping track of the people who have already voted, such as online voting. It could also make it easier to have smaller districts or groups of people vote in more places around the country. This would make keeping track of people easier. It would also bring down the number of votes that were in each area, reducing the amount of time it takes to count all of the votes.

pantera1 [17]

The correct answer is:

It allowed and encouraged the recruitment of blacks to be soldiers for the U

forces.

Explanation:

It allowed forces to recruit the black males in the Union for the army in that there were many black leaders who were also in favor of this so that there was a possible emancipation of the black population.

They could fight for their own race's right to be free and this would have also given them good monetary recompenses.

This meant that fighting in the war would have given them a better lifestyle after the war and a better life to look forward to.
