FILL IN THE BLANK... during the war the confederates began to coat the sides of some of their ships with ___

History
1 answer:
Nana76 [90]3 years ago
8 0

The right answer is iron.

Let me explain: During the Civil War, the Confederacy wanted to acquire modern armored ships, therefore, gaining advantage over their adversaries. Somewhere around 1861, the Confederate Congress purchased ships called 'ironclads' from overseas, and a few moths later, they started working on constructing and converting their wooden ships to ironclads, by coating the sides of their ships with iron.

The goal behind this new defense strategy was to make it more difficult for heavy artillery to pierce the ships, thus gaining a new naval advantage over the enemy.

I hope this answer helps! Have a great week :)

Andrei [34K]
<span>It is true that virtue means the state of being moral, good, or righteous. It is general goodness, rectitude, dignity, which is a quality most praised in people, but also quite rare, as many people nowadays are tainted by the society around them, so virtue is something that has become very hard to find.

Describe the cultural and social interaction and exchange between english settlers and indians in virginia and the effects of th
zimovet [89]

The interactions between English settlers and native Virginians is a difficult one to summarize, as it experienced many changes over the years.

The two peoples originally came into contact in 1607, when English settlers first established the town of Jamestown in Virginian territory. The original settlement was a small one, and the settlers required the help of the natives in order to learn how to work the land and face the weather. This led to close cooperation between the two groups.

However, as the influence of the English settlers grew, their power also increased. The settlers became interested in dominating the native people, and they attempted to do this in various ways, including through warfare, forced removal and christianization. As hostilities grew, the indigenous people began to lose most of the things that were valuable to them, such as their land, their religious rites, their cultural expressions and their large numbers.

In times of peace, the two groups were able to learn from each other, and cultural and social exchanges were common. However, when hostilities arose, the native people were particularly affected. The damage increased when forced removal became a more extensive government practice. Such discriminatory actions led to the downfall of the native Virginians.

According to the passage, what were George C. Marshall’s military contributions during World War II? Check all that apply.
Degger [83]

During WWII, George C. Marshall served as chief of staff of the US army from September 1, 1939 until November 18, 1945.

During his tenure he helped train US soldiers in modern warfare as an instructor at the Army War College in Pennsylvania.

He inherited an outdated and poorly equiped army, so he was also responsible for the modernization of the army and co-ordinated a large scale expansion of the military.

While Marshal wrote the document that would become the central strategy for Allied operations in Europe, Dwight Eisenhower would become the Supreme Commander of Operation Overlord.
