2 armies marched towards a small town in Virginia or Tennessee. Their Scouts see each other at a distance.
Now what?
How do these armies become engaged with one another? And more importantly, how do we know who's won the battle?
Simply put, both armies, North and South will organize their men into groups of approximately 350 called regimens. These men will stand shoulder to shoulder in two lines called ranks, and March toward the enemy. Once they are in range, they will fire their weapons at one another or charge each other with the bandit.
When one side is driven the other away, the battle has been won. We call this method linear tactics. Now remember that in those times, the way that soldiers fight is dependent on the weapons they use. And during the Civil War, both soldiers of North and Southern armies are going to use a rifled musket, which is a single shot weapon that has an effective range of about 400 yards, and it can be fired roughly three times in a minute.
One man with one of these weapons won't be very effective, but three or 500 or a thousand men is a different story. This is why one regimen on a battlefield can make a difference.
Even in larger, more complicated battles, the concept remains the same, maneuver your line of battle into position where it can damage the enemy with its firepower or subdue it in hand to hand combat.
The correct answer is C. assonance
b. <em>he describes the event unemotionally to avoid bias and sentiment</em>. This is the correct answer.
Frederick Douglass, a former slave, wrote this memoir in 1845. The event he describes is related to the moment he left a plantation- Colonel Lloyd's - and the fact he was being carried to Baltimore by sail. There is not any emotional language in this description. As this narrative was considered a treatise against abolition, the writer must have avoided any sentimental language.
These options are not right:
a. he describes the event chronologically to make the account factual. ( The event is described but chronology is not stated).
c. he uses words such as remember to set a sad, nostalgic tone. ( The word remember is mentioned because it is a memoir. The words does not necessarily indicate any nostalgic tone).
d. he uses nautical terms, such as aft, to establish his credibility. ( The writer's credibility will not be reflected by his use of this specific vocabulary).
