Answer:

The principal of government by the people means that citizens have a say in their government. Greece and Rome were the first civilizations to use these ideas about governments. This kept their governments stable for a long time. The Greek city-state of Athens created a direct democracy, which allowed citizens to vote directly on laws. The Roman Republic used a representative democracy where citizens elected leaders to represent their ideas and interests.

The principal of government by the people influenced the United States government. The United States became a Democratic government after the American Revolution. Democratic governments operate according to the idea that matters of the country are "public" and not just the concerns of its rulers.

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

The turning point of the Civil War was the Battle of Gettysburg, fought near Gettysburg , Pennsylvania , on July 1-3, 1863. The Northern Virginia army, commanded by Confederate chief commander, Gen. Robert E. Lee, faced the Union Army of the Potomac headed by Gen. George G. Meade. After having smashed Union forces at Chancellorsville, Lee invaded the North for a second time. The battle lasted 3 days of ferocious, bloody and brutal fight. The most famous part of the battle is the charge of Gen. George Pickett´s  division with 15,000 men against the lines of the Northern infantry, an action that ended in utter failure. The stakes were high: Lee had invaded Northern territory and wanted to advance to Washington to force the Abraham Lincoln´s government to negotiate peace in disadvantage. His defeat not only forced him to go back to Virginia: the South was never able to threaten the North again and since that moment on, fought only on the defensive. Casualties mounted to 51,000 on both sides, the bloodiest single battle of the war.
