What was the decisive turning point in the US Civil War that turned the campaic in favor of the Union troops?​

History

Setler [38]3 years ago

Well, there were two important turning points of the war.

The first one is the Battle of Gettysburg. Basically, Robert E. Lee and the Confederate Army marched into Pennsylvania to capture a town in order to cut off Washington D.C from the rest of the Union, which could force a decisive surrender of the Union. However, Union forces met with Confederate forces, resulting in a bloody battle that ended with the most notable conflict of the battle of General Pickett's Charge, which was the final conflict that resulted in the defeat of the Confederates. This was decisive because General Lee did not attempt to strategically end the war after this battle. Which further meant that Lee would have to fight an already pro longed war when the South did not have the resources or the industrial capacity or the able bodied men to serve as soldiers as the North did.

The second turning point I would say would be the appointment of General Ulysses S. Grant of the Union forces by Lincoln, due to that he was a brilliant general and already known war hero, and for the fact that of his only acceptance of enemy surrender conditions as "unconditional", hence his nickname "Unconditional Surrender Grant".

When Malcolm X states, “You couldn’t have gotten me out of books with a wedge,” what can the reader infer?
o-na [289]

The reader can infer that malcolm X had an overwhelming desire to learn

The phrase  “You couldn’t have gotten me out of books with a wedge,” was written by Malcolm X when he's describing his experience in prison.

He wrote that he basically spent all of his time in prison by reading a book. He read books on library, during breaks , and  on his bunks. He believed that even if other people threaten to beat him with a wedge if he does not stop reading the book, he'd still choose to read.

How did the case of Leo Frank lead to an increase in racial inequality in the South?
Mazyrski [523]

Answer: B. Southern leaders like Tom Watson began an anti-Semitic campaign against Jewish businesses.

Explanation:

Leo Frank was an American Jew who was accused of killing 13-year-old, Mary Phagan who worked in a plant in which he was the Superintendent. The case saw a lot of anti-Semitism spread across the United States especially in the South as people believed that the Jews wanted Leo Frank freed regardless of whether he was guilty or innocent.

Tom Watson was a Southern leader from Georgia where he was the editor of the Jeffersonian. In response to his political rival supporting Leo Frank, he unleased an anti-Semitic campaign and spoke against Jewish businesses and when Frank was imprisoned instead of executed, called for Frank to be lynched.
