Answer:

Robert Edward Lee was the most prominent Confederate general in the Civil War.

Lee was born in Westmoreland County, Virginia. He attended the West Point military school, where he was one of the most ardent students. By the time of the outbreak of the Civil War, he was considered one of the ablest in the United States, and in early 1861 President Abraham Lincoln proposed making him commander of the Union army. Lee refused, as the state of Virginia was among the states that had left the Union, and felt he had to follow his hometown.  

He became chief adviser to Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederation, then in June 1862 he became commander of the Southern forces in the east, an army which Lee renamed the Northern Virginia Army. He won several important victories over the Union armies, notably the Seven Days Battle, the Second Battle of Bull Run, the Battle of Fredericksburg and the Battle of Chancellorsville. When he tried to invade the North, he was less successful; he had to return south after the Battle of Antietam in 1862, and was defeated at the Battle of Gettysburg in 1863 by George Meade.

In the spring of 1864, the new commander of the Union armies, Ulysses S. Grant, began a series of campaigns against Lee's army. Although Grant's losses were far greater than those of Lee in the ensuing battles, the Union could replace them with new troops, while the resources of the south were almost at an end. Lee had to surrender to Grant at Appomattox Courthouse on 9 April 1865.

Fynjy0 [20]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

The group that most of the Americans living on the frontier supported was the Cowboys.

Yes, at the end of the 1800s in the frontier region, Cowboys made a name by themselves. Indeed, they became one of the symbols of the West, almost as the ideal heroic man of that time.

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

Interactionism.

Explanation:

William I. Thomas observed that people respond not only to the objective features of a situation or person, but also to the social meaning that situation or person has for them. This observation reflects the <em>interactionist perspective</em>. According to the Thomas theorem, people do not react to reality but to what they perceive as real. Definitions of what is "real" differ between individuals. People interpret their world and they act accordingly. The way people interpret the world comes from social institutions such as family.
