This is a story about the battle of Gettysburg as viewed from both sides. The book only makes account of the time period from June 29 through July 3,1863. Although the book was on the actual battle at Gettysburg, it goes into the pros and cons of the attack by both sides. It also reveals the thoughts and feelings of the officers and ground troops about why they were there. The most prominent person, was General Robert E Lee, commander of northern Virginia.
Source 8 does not support this view, however the only evidence supporting it being that tensions between Nationalists and Unionists was high and that because of their differences Ireland was preparing for a Civil War, as suggested by source 7. Source 8 is also a relatively modern book and so, like source 7, could be argued to carry more weight. On the other hand source 9 is a speech made by Andrew Bonar Law, a key unionist of the time, and therefore could be considered biased and not as reliable as the other sources.
Never again would the proud Army of Tennessee have a chance as had existed in the woods along the banks of the Chickamauga. Secondary sources include Freeman Cleaves.

One of the most decisive engagements of the Civil War took place in early July 1863 in and around the sleepy southern Pennsylvania town of Gettysburg. The principal armies of both sides fought over woods, cornfields and hills from July 1 to July 3 with the Union emerging victorious. The defeat of Confederate General Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia by Union Major General George G. Meade's Army of the Potomac during the three day battle dealt a crushing blow to already dwindling Southern hopes for independence. The Confederacy was in a desperate military situation in late May 1863. The Union seemed about to seize the besieged city of Vicksburg, Mississippi and capture an entire Confederate army, which was trapped up in the town.
This, combined with the war's length and the waning distinction between civilian and military targets, made it difficult for people to perceive the enemy in terms other than extreme hatred. This was reflected in the demands for retribution made both during and at the end of the war, inevitably affecting the peace settlements that followed. In the following selection Gordon Craig of Princeton and Stan rd, a noted military and diplomatic historian who has done extensive work on German history, analyzes these attitudes and their causes while comparing World War I with previous wars. Consider: How the primary documents on the experience of World War I relate to this interpretation; why it was difficult for governments of belligerent nations to compromise; whether this description of what happened in World War I is likely to be true for almost any extended twentieth-century war. The war of 1914 was the first total war in history, in the sense that very few people living in the belligerent countries were permitted to remain unaffected by it during its course.

Six short weeks after he became president, the Northern states fought against the Southern states, who now called themselves the 'Confederacy', this was the start of the Civil War which lasted from 1861 until 1865. On January 1st, 1863 Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation as a war measure, it proclaimed
No, I am not convinced by the arguments for “Big History” put forward by David Christian. I have to disagree with David Christian’s arguments for "Big History" as I do not think that the reason to why people learn History includes the concepts contained within the study of "Big History". More specifically I do not agree that the study of history should go past that of ‘Human History’, therefore I will argue that it is more important and effective to learn this type of history than that of ‘Big History’. To prove my point I will give a rebuttal against what David Christian says for ‘Big History’. I am also not convinced that the concept of 'Big History' is applicable to the understanding of human history or that of 'Small History'.
Sociology also uses date by systematically observing the real world which will provide evidence that enables sociologists to claim that what they know is true. Commonsense is based on our own personal experience and understanding. Commonsense does not always accurately predict reality. People see commonsense as true facts; it is looked at to be true. Sociologists would argued that commonsense thinking is too accepting and uncritical of much that goes around us, they limit too see the world not from any other point of view but their own.
