Answer:

C. They laid siege to the city for many days is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The victory of the Vicksburg was one of the greatest victory of the Union as the Union got control of the Mississippi river. At the same time General Robert E. Lee was also defeated at the Battle of Gettysburg.  

General Grants army reached Vicksburg on May 18, 1863 and faced General Pemberton. Pemberton and his  soldiers were hiding behind the defences of the city. At first Grant tried to break in the city  but it didn't work so he decided to besiege the city and starve the confederate soldiers. General Pemberton was finally defeated and the soldiers surrendered on July 4, 1863

Answer:

They laid siege to the city for many days.

Explanation:

Once Grant arrived at his destination, he found the city too strong to assault, so he had his men build trenches and laid siege to the city.

The siege began in May of 1863 and lasted until July 4. With no hope of reinforcements, and his men starving, Confederate General John Pemberton finally surrendered the city.

What group of people came before the Maya and would have an influence on their culture?
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

Olmecs

Explanation:

In short, the Maya came first, and settled in modern-day Mexico. Next came the Olmecs, who also settled Mexico. They didn't build any major cities, but they were widespread and prosperous. They were followed by the Inca in modern-day Peru, and finally the Aztecs, also in modern-day Mexico.

Anthropologists generally fall into two groups when considering the beginnings of the Mayans, arguing either that the civilization developed independently or that the Mayans were influenced largely by the older Olmec civilization.
