General lee commanded that the 5,000 men that Pickett’s men were to line up in the woods and get ready to charge up cemetery hill. Hood and Mclaws troops had suffered to many casualties so their units were given the day off. Other confederate divisions helped the attack so that the massed up around 14,000 men. The army’s began with both sides firing cannons at each other for more than two hours. According to &, m. t. (2008, July 3), “more than 100 guns shook the hill from crest to base.” Though most of the cannons shot missed they still provided some support for the confederate army.

When Jim Dies, it greatly affects Henry and makes him realize the true meaning of courage – not being afraid to face death, as Jim wasn’t.
His raspy, Pigeon accent and carefree mood comforts me as we settle down to watch the College Bowl Games. These football games were the greatest experience for the players, however, nothing comparable to my uncle’s experience in the Korean War. The Korean War, where he made history and risked his neck also became his most
my family had political connections, as my father was a censor, a position in the Roman government. This was until my father and brother were slain, causing me to go hide in a seaside cave for 8 months. When I came out I began my military and political career, which would guide the rest of my life. While supplying a force of soldiers under my command, I once said, "God forbid, that any Roman should think that too little which is enough to keep him alive and well.1" This seems pretty contrasting to how I lived as I was an extremely wealthy man. I started with 300 talents of silver, an already impressive amount, but by the end of my life, I was worth an estimated 7,100 talents.
This destruction for the North was estimated at greater than 3,100 reported dead and over 14,500 wounded.

President Lincoln's remarks stated the somber nature of the region's devastation that he witnessed on his tour of the battlefield.

“Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better its not” This famous quote by Dr. Seuss said in the movie “The Lorax” perfectly sums up the whole movie. The Lorax takes place in Thneedville with a young boy Ted who wants nothing more than to find a real tree to impress his crush.

This is when the Once-ler tells Ted the story of betraying the Lorax in the process of his invention called a “thneed” by cutting down all of his truffala trees. After the thneed fad disappeared because there were no more trees to cut down, the Once-ler distanced himself from the society because of the guilt he held.
In the book, Chamberlain and his battalion make up the rear of the Union, and are defending the Union from any possible attacks by the Confederates. The Confederates attacked the Union's flank at Little Round Top Hill, and forced Chamberlain's men uphill. His courage and decision making allowed for the tactical advantages of the Union to defeat the Confederates. As the Union was forced uphill, they started running out of ammunition and supplies.

At this time there was a struggle between northern states(anti-slave states) and southern states(slave states). Both wanter to maintain power of government without the other trying to as well. This was shown when Tallmadge and Thomas both came up with amendments for congress’ conundrum. Tallmadge was a northerner who didn’t want slavery to exsist in the newly found state. Not because of the morality of it all but because he didn’t want the south to maintain more power.
Given the circumstances, I would say unfortunately, yes, this war was inevitable given the circumstances under which it came. The three main causes, infringement on civil liberties, infringement on states' rights, and the collapse of the two-party system, made the conflict between North and South almost impossible to resolve. When Abraham Lincoln was elected into presidency, it was implied in his inauguration speech that he was one who would abide more by Northern interests. First North Carolina, then other Southerners responded by doing what they had the *right* to do if they felt the government had become too oppressive: they filed a declaration of secession from the Union. Unfortunately, Lincoln called this secession a Rebellion instead of what it was.
