History

Answer:

The correct answers are B, C and D. Stonewall Jackson's army marched secretly to a spot on the side of the Union Army and then they attacked, while the Union forces were not expecting this.

Explanation:

The Battle of Chancellorsville was a major victory for Confederate troops over the Union Army and is one of the jewels of military strategy.   Jackson and Lee masterfully used bluffing and covert shifts to deceive the enemy, and at one point they reached for the opportunity to encircle and completely destroy General H0oker's army.

During this battle, H0oker took a position north of Chancellorsville, leaving his left wing unprotected. Noticing that, Lee attacked with 20,000 people against Ho0ker's left wing, and sent Jackson to H0oker's right wing with 25,000 people. On May 2, Jackson attacked and pushed H0oker's right wing. The next day, H0oker took his forces to better positions. On the same day, General Sedgwick repulsed Lee's weak forces near Fredricksburg, but reinforcements that arrived on May 4 forced Sedgwick to withdraw. On May 6, Lee ordered a general attack. H0oker saw that the battle was lost and retreated to the left bank of the Repehenek.

Only the death of Stonewall Jackson after his men mistaken him for an enemy in the night fight saved the Union from destruction. As a result, the Confederacy's victory was not nearly as complete as it should have been.

However, the Union army escaped, and the death of Jackson, considered the Confederate's best field tactician and General Lee's irreplaceable right hand, was a catastrophe from which Southern troops never fully recovered.

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

Slavery, territorial crisis, nationalism

Explanation:

In the early nineteenth century the US had a dual structure - capitalism in the north and slavery in the south. These two structures were completely contradictory structures within a single state. During the American-Mexican War, the United States seized most of the land in the south. There was a lot of empty land here. The favorable climate in the southern part contributed to the development of the agrarian sector, especially cotton growing. The fact that the immigrants mostly went north created a working minority here. Therefore, from the seventeenth century onwards, blacks were brought here from Africa. In the South, 1/4 of the whites were slaves.

The development of machine-building in the north and the development of the agrarian sector in the South made the interrelationships between these two regions necessary. The South needed new technologies, and the North needed ready-made tobacco and cotton. But the difference between the structures was that they were saying their word seriously in relationships. The liberation of fleeing slaves and the emergence of new structures in the newly occupied territories led to the outbreak of civil war. Some 620,000 people were killed during the war
