History

Reptile [31]2 years ago
6 0

Your questions asks why the Southern Military (Confederacy) decided to defend instead of attack.

Your answer would be C). Southern leaders thought their knowledge of Southern lands would help them defeat the Union forces.

The reason why this would be the correct answer is because the South believed that their knowledge of their land would give them the advantage in winning the war. In other words, you can say that the South "played home field." The terrain in the South was different than the terrain in the North, so they used it to get the Northerners (the Union) confused when trying to attack them. The Southerners knew where everything is: all of the bases, hiding spots, etc, and used it to a certain advantage. All in all, the Southern leaders thought that the Union would be weaker on unknown territory.

The Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen _____.
Eddi Din [679]
The correct answers are options #2 and 3.

The Declaration of the Rights of Man was a French document in which male citizens established what natural rights they have. This was very similar to the American Declaration of Independence, which was made 13 years before the Declaration of the Rights of Man.

Within this document, the French established that men are born equal and free, that people should be employed based on their skill set, and the ability to do what they want so long as they do not hurt others (like practice their own religion).

This was one of several documents during the late 1800's that established rights that all citizens should have within a country.
