In the modern usage, a democracy is a system where the people all exercise the power to directly elect representatives from amongst themselves, and thus form a government body, like the Parliament. It is sometimes referred to as the "rule of the majority". Nowadays, this type of rule is the most popular one.

Hey there! Welcome to Brainly! I'm happy to help!

This looks a bit like a fill in the blank. I'll rewrite it below with some blanks. I will also number the blanks so I can write the answers without having to rewrite everything! :D

In April 1865, General Lee's Army of Northern Virginia escaped from the cities of Petersburg and 1)___________. Lee wanted to reinforce his army at 2)__________. Union forces followed Lee for an 88-mile stretch along the 3)________ River in Virginia. At first, the Confederates successfully fought off a 4)______________ led by General Sheridan. However, the Union infantry quickly arrived to intercept them again. On April 9, Lee's army was surrounded on all sides by Union troops. Seeing that escape was no longer possible, Lee decided to surrender.

April 9, 1865 is a very famous time because it's when the Civil War essentially ended when Robert E Lee surrendered at Appomattox Courthouse in Virginia.

First, we want to find the other city Lee escaped from. The Confederate capital was Richmond, so this was most likely a big union target. So, it makes total sense that they would escape from here.

Next, we need to find where he reinforced his army. The last Virginian city to be captured by the Union soldiers was Lynchburg. So, where do you think Lee would go? You got it, Lynchburg!

Now, we need to find the river that the Union soldiers followed the confederates on. Well, we know that Lee surrendered at Appomattox courthouse. Turns out, there's also an Appomattox river, and this is the exact same one that Lee was chased along the banks of.

Finally, we need to see what Lee's army fought off at first. Sheridan is known for many things but one of them is basically using a union cavalry to to fend Lee off. It also says the answer in the next sentence: the Union infantry quickly arrived...

Therefore, here are your answers!

1) Richmond

2) Lynchburg

3) Appomattox

4) Union Cavalry/Infantry

I hope that this helps! Have a wonderful day!
