General McClellan’s Army of the Potomac tried to capture the Confederate capital, Richmond through the Peninsula Campaign.
Answer: Option A
<u>Explanation:
</u>
General George McClellan, the commander of the army of the Union had a not so clear plan of capturing the Confederate capital. In his attempt to do that, his troops successfully crossed the James River without much reluctance. Once they crossed it, they fought a small battle with a troop of the Confederate army and won.
The Union army troops were surprised by the minor resistance of the Confederate army. But soon after they won their first battle after crossing River James, they had to face a massive surprise attack from the troops led by General Johnston. At last, General McClellan lost this battle after heavy casualties on his side.
Obelisks were found mostly at the entrances to temples, but also next to tombs and often in pairs. They gave the entrance a "magical" protection. The obelisk of Senusret is today placed on a Roundabout in a city of El Fayoum.
In 1791 Hamilton convinced Congress to approve taxes on distilled spirits and carriages. Hamilton's principal reason for the tax was that he wanted to pay down the national debt, but he justified the tax "more as a measure of social discipline than as a source of revenue." But most importantly, Hamilton "wanted the tax imposed to advance and secure the power of the new federal government."
as secretary of the treasury he had just assumed the states' debt for the war.
Congress designed the tax so smaller distillers would pay by the gallon, while larger distillers (who could produce in volume) could take advantage of a flat fee. The net result was to affect smaller producers more than larger ones. George Washington, the president at the time, was one such large producer of whiskey. Large producers were assessed a tax of 6 cents per gallon, while small producers were taxed at 9 cents per gallon.
