Can Anyone please give me a good summary of what happened in the Siege of Vicksburg?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

La campaña de Vicksburg fue una serie de batallas y maniobras de la guerra civil estadounidense realizadas contra Vicksburg, una ciudad fortaleza que dominaba la última sección del río Misisipi controlada por los confederados. El Ejército de Tennessee comandado por el mayor general Ulysses S. Grant obtuvo el control del río Misisipi al capturar la fortaleza y derrotar a las fuerzas del teniente general John C. Pemberton.

La campaña consistió en muchas operaciones navales importantes, maniobras, iniciativas fallidas y once batallas que se sucedieron entre el 3 de noviembre1​2​3​4​ de 1862 y el 4 de julio de 1863. Los historiadores militares dividen la campaña en dos fases formales. La primera fase se llama Operaciones contra Vicksburg (noviembre de 1862-enero de 1863) y la segunda Operaciones de Grant contra Vicksburg (marzo-julio de 1863).

Para el 2 de noviembre de 1862, las fuerzas de la Unión controlaban la mayor parte del río Mississippi. Sin embargo, a pesar de los repetidos esfuerzos de la Unión, el tramo alrededor de Vicksburg continuaba estando firmemente bajo el control de los confederados.

Por ello el 3 de noviembre, Ulysses S. Grant, comenzó a mover a sus hombres a lo largo de la orilla este de Mississippi para alcanzar y capturar a Vicksburg. Acosado por todo tipo de adversidades, su ejército avanzó lentamente. Mientras tanto, William Sherman, otro general de la Unión, lideró bajo órdenes de Grant un segundo avance hacia los cruces de Chickasaw Bayou a lo largo de la orilla oeste del río Misisipi.1​ Ese avance tuvo también el apoyo de la flota del Misisipi bajo las órdenes del contraalmirante David Dixon Porter.

Grant y Sherman fueron rechazados por las fuerzas confederadas dirigidas por el general Earl Van Dorn, que consiguieron cortar las líneas de suministro de la Unión en Holly Springs el 20 de diciembre de 1862, lo que obligó a Grant a retirarse y más tarde también a Sherman, que, a pesar de las nuevas circunstancias desfavorables, quiso continuar y fue por ello detenido más tarde por los confederados en Chickasaw Bayou el 26 de diciembre de 1862.5​ Finalmente en la batalla que siguió al día siguiente y que duró hasta el día 29 Sherman fue derrotado a causa de ello y tuvo que retirarse.6​ Las fuerzas de la Unión tampoco tuvieron éxito en nuevos asaltos en enero de 1863 a causa del tiempo y por la solidez de las defensas alrededor de Vicksburg, lo que llevó a la cancelación de la ofensiva y la sustitución temporal de Sherman por John Alexander McClernand por haber hecho esa ofensiva imprudente.

Aun así esas fuerzas de la Unión en retirada, bajo el mando de McClernand y por el consejo de Sherman, que había percatado la amenaza del fuerte Arkansas Post para sus tropas, pudieron tomar al norte del Chickasaw Bayou ese fuerte posicionado en el río Arkansas cerca del río Mississippi al lado de Arkansas el 11 de enero de 1863 después de conseguir la ayuda de la flota de Porter, lo que fortaleció la posición de la Unión en el lugar para poder efectuar en el futuro mejores operaciones contra la fortaleza de Vicksburg y que se empezaron a efectuar dos meses más tarde.7​

Explain the Role of the council of Trent in the protestant reformation? What happened? What was the reason behind it?

Answers

The Council of Trent was the formal Roman Catholic reply to the doctrinal challenges of the Protestant Reformation. It served to define Catholic doctrine and made sweeping decrees on self-reform, helping to revitalize the Roman Catholic Church in the face of Protestant expansion.

I hoped this helped! :)

Answer:

The Council of Trent was a direct response to  Martin Luther's 95 Theses and the creation of Lutheranism. At the Council of Trent, the Catholic Church reaffirmed four important elements of the church. First, they denied Lutheran's teachings and reaffirmed that humans can redeem themselves through good works. Another element that the Catholic Church reaffirmed was the fact that purgatory does indeed exist and prayers help shorten a person's stay in purgatory. Along with this, the church also reaffirmed the importance of all seven sacraments and the overall importance of following the teachings of the church.

1) A reason to use the atomic bomb is that it can end wars and save lives, an example is in ww2 the bombs that the us dropped onto Japan made japan come out of the war and saved American and Japan soilder’s lives. Another reason we should use atomic bombs is to scare other countries into not a king a war.

2) One reason we shouldn’t use the atomic bomb is because a lot of inocent people’s lives would be in danger. Another reason we shouldn’t use a bomb is because they aren’t like normal bombs where you drop one and everything gets exploded but you can rebuild. If you use an atomic bomb everything gets exploded and there is also nuclear fallout which can poison things exposed to it.

3) In Nagasaki The atomic explosion over Nagasaki affected an over-all area of approximately 42.9 square miles of which about 8.5 square miles were water and only about 9.8 square miles were built up, the remainder being partially settled. Approximately 36% of the built up areas were seriously damaged. And in Hiroshima The bomb had an explosive yield equal to 15,000 tonnes of TNT. It razed and burnt around 70 per cent of all buildings and caused an estimated 140,000 deaths by the end of 1945, along with increased rates of cancer and chronic disease among the survivors.

4) Overall I don’t support the use of Nuclear bombs because I think the cons ou the pros, sure the bomb has stopped and prevented wars and the deaths of soldiers but they have caused much more deaths of innocent civilian.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Unfortunately, we cannot place a checkmark next to each power granted to the federal government under the Articles of Confederation because you forgot to attach them. We have no reference at all.

However, trying to help you we can comment on the following based on our knowledge of the topic.

Under the Articles of Confederation, the central government had the power to make international treaties. The central government was the only one that has the power to declare war and assign ambassadors to other nations. The central government could own post offices and regulate relations with Native American Indians.

Under the Articles of Confederation, the central government was weak. The states had more power and could collect money through taxation. The states remained sovereign.

Due to the inconsistencies of the Articles of Confederation, the delates invited to the Constitutional Convention of 1787 in the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to create the new Constitution of the United States.

           There are many factors that can cause a conflict to happen. It can be difficult to explain why a war occurs and it can be intertwined in a complex way. War often stems from one countries desire to take over another' Most known as Economic Gain, Territorial Gain, Religion, Civil War, Revolutionary War, Defensive War, and Nationalism. In pre-industrial times, the gain from a conflict war often sought by gold and silver miners.

           (Economic and Territorial Gain) Sometimes, a country's desire to take over another's wealth is the main reason for way. In other cases, it may be the desire to gain control of a country's resources. A country can decide how much land it needs to develop. It can also use the territorial as a "buffer zone" between two hostile enemies.

           (Religion and Nationalism) Religious conflicts can be dormant for decades, then reemerge in a flash. They can be triggered by various factors such as a nationalisms revenge. Nationalism in this context is the attempt to prove that your country is better than another. This often leads to an invasion. Professor Richard Lebow of kings collage London argues that the main cause of was is not security but the spirit of the nation.

          (Revenge and Civil War) Revenge can be a factor in the formation of the chain of wars. It also motivate people to retaliate for perceived slights.  There can also be sharp disagreements within a country's  political and military leadership. These can erupt when the country's leaders are at odds with each other over who should run the country and its people rights.

           (Revolutionary War and Defensive War ) A revolutionary occurs when a large section of a country's populations revolts against a certain group of individual due to their dissatisfaction with their leadership. In the modern world, countries often argue that they are fighting a defensive war, which is therefore a "just war". This argument is especially controversial when it comes to preemptive strikes.

           There are various types of war, such as civil wars, revolutionary war, and religious wars.
