Answer:

The French revolution was mainly caused due to the division in society and the negligence of the common people i.e the 3rd estate during this period.

During that time the society was divided into 3 estates.

<em><u>1rst </u></em><em><u>E</u></em><em><u>state</u></em>: The 1rst estate consisted of the clergy (i.e the priests and the nuns and other members of the church).They were of utmost importance in the French society...They were exempted from paying taxes and were provided with all the luxuries they required in exchange of praying for the commoners.

<em><u>2nd Estate:</u></em> The 2nd estate consisted of the nobles.The nobles were those who were the relatives of the king himself. They too were given a lot of importance and was exempted from paying taxes as well.They were also again provided with lots of food and luxuries.

<em><u>3rd Estate:</u></em> The 3rd estate consisted of the common people, peasants and businessmen (middle and low class people). They were not given food and was starving most of the times..They also had to pay heavy taxes to fill the kings treasury which was empty as the King had used it all for battles and wars fought.

<em><u>This was how the society in France was divided at that time and this is what mainly caused the French Revolution</u></em>

Robert E. Lee surrendered to Ulysses Grant at Appomattox Courthouse after President Jefferson Davis announced the Confederate go
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

Robert E. Lee surrendered to Ulysses Grant at Appomattox Courthouse after Lee recognized the futility of continued fighting.

Explanation:

The Battle of Appomattox Court House was fought on April 9, 1865, between Union Army forces commanded by general Ulysses S. Grant and Confederate forces led by general Robert E. Lee.

Lee abandoned Richmond, Virginia (the Confederate capital) and moved west, hoping to regroup with other remanining Confederate units in North Carolina. However, Union forces pursued the Lee army and engaged it at Appomattox Court House. Lee charged the Union lines but, as he broke their line, he saw that further Union forces vastly outnumbering the Confederate army were advancing to join the battle. <u>Upon realizing the futility of his situation</u>, general Lee famously declared: "There is nothing left for me to do but to go and see General Grant and I would rather die a thousand deaths".

Robert E. Lee surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant that same day, which eventually led to a domino effect with other Confederate armies surrendering shortly after. The Civil War formally ended on May 9, 1865.
