Dave, these people on THAT day took a position, anyone can say anything to the contrary now, like take the popular position, but is that the SAME as voting THAT DAY with the info you have? Maybe that Dennis K. should be the nominee he is on the list! FROM DAY ONE! He is trying to have his cake and eat it too, he did not campaign for a seat in the US Senate until 2 years after the war began, at that point anyone knew it was not a good war! no where am I a Hillary supporter, she is better than Obama but neither will beat McCain!

    Answer:
    No he's not on there he's a shyster double-talking lawyer, inexperienced candidate, and vicious manipulator, who should prove himself in the Senate, not use his deep pockets to smear Hillary 24/7 and undermine a Democrat win! Great Question and Documentation ;-)

It was a speech given by President Jefferson Davis following the Battle of Gettysburg. None of the above 4: The North had more soldiers and more resources than the South. Why then did the Confederacy win so many early battles? The battles were fought in the Confederacy therefore supplies were readily available to their soldiers. The Confederate Army conscripted their slaves and thus changed the balance of manpower Union army officers had little experience at high command, while the Confederacy had many skilled military officers. All of the Above 5: Who was John Wilkes Booth? An actor A fanatical supporter of the Confederacy The assassin of President Lincoln All of the above 6: Who took over the government when President Lincoln was assassinated? Vice President Hannibal Hamlin Vice President Andrew Johnson General Ulysses Grant Vice President Alexander Stephens 7: What was the Emancipation Proclamation and when was it issued?

    Answer:
    1) Abolishonists belieived slavery was wrong and wanted to do away with the practice. Most well known was probably John Brown who led a raid to try to get slaves to revolt on their owners. He was captured in Harpers Ferry VA and was hung. 2) South Carolina was first then Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia and Florida, Louisiania, and Texas 3)The Gettysburg Address was a speech given by Lincoln after the Battle of Gettysburg. It was given on November19 1863 and is still reenacted every year. 4) These answers are all really wrong but I would say that the Confederate Generals were better leaders at the beginning of the war. The other reason the South won so many battles was they were fighting for their freedom on their own territory. 5) John Wilkes Boothe was all of the above 6)Vice President Andrew Johnson took overe after the assassination of President Lincoln. 7)The emancipation proclomation was the official annoncement of the end of slavery in the South, but only in those areas of rebellion so it did not free the slaves in the North. 8)The first Capitol of the Confederate States of America was in Montgomery Alabama and They elected Jefferson Davis as President. The capitol was later moved to Richmond, Virginia. 9)All of these were results of the war 10)As a result of the war the South experienced many hardships and it took many years to repair the damages caused by the Civil War.

    sound good?
    Question:
    does this sound good?/right? Union- -George Meade began as a captain, and was later promoted to a major general. General Meade was most famous for being in command of Gettysburg and was the most competent of the Civil War’s Union. -General John Buford was a Union Cavalry commander. His cavalry was the first to face Lee’s troops at Gettysburg. They held a superior force out of Gettysburg for several hours allowing the rest of the Union Army time to get there and fight and win the epic battle of the war. Confederacy- -Jefferson Davis was the president of the Confederate States of America. (also known as the rebels) After he withdrew from the Senate he appointed major general of the Mississippi militia and was later chosen president of the provisional government. -General Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson was one of the more “joyful” people of the Civil War. His early death is respected by many. Also, because of his nickname “Stonewall” many people think he played a major part in the war, which he did. -James Longstreet was one of the better Confederate general. Lee called him his “old war-horse. He was commissioned from West Point in 1842 into the infantry, and was badly wounded in the Mexican war. He resigned from the US army to become a Confederate brigadier general in 1861. -Robert E. Lee privately ridiculed the Confederacy in letters in early 1861. The commanding general of the Union army, Winfield Scott, told Lincoln he wanted Lee for a top command. Lee was willing as long as Virginia remained in the Union. Lee was asked by one of his lieutenants if he intended to fight for the Confederacy or the Union, he replied, "I shall never bear arms against the Union, but it may be necessary for me to carry a musket in the defense of my native state, Virginia, in which case I shall not prove recreant to my duty." After Lincoln's call for troops to put down the rebellion, it was obvious that Virginia would quickly secede and so Lee turned down the offer on April 18, resigned from the U.S. Army on April 20, and took up command of the Virginia state forces on April 23. -
