Answer:
HE GENTLEMEN'S AGREEMENT
See "The Surrender" painting by Keith Rocco
On the morning of April 9, while General Robert E . Lee realized that the retreat of his beleaguered army had finally been halted, U. S. Grant was riding toward Appomattox Court House where Union Cavalry, followed by infantry from the V, XXIV, and XXV Corps had blocked the Confederate path. Lee had sent a letter to Grant requesting a meeting to discuss his army's surrender and this letter overtook Grant and his party just before noon about four miles west of Walker's Church (present-day Hixburg). Grant, who had been suffering from a severe headache, later remembered that upon reading Lee's letter the pain in his head had disappeared. He stopped to prepare his reply to Lee, writing that he would push to the front to meet him.
The location of the meeting was left to Lee's discretion. Lt. Colonel Orville E . Babcock and his orderly, Capt. Dunn, took Grant's reply and rode ahead. Babcock found Lee resting under an apple tree near the Appomattox River. After reading Grant's letter, Lee, his Aide-de-Camp Lt. Colonel Charles Marshall, and Private Joshua O. Johns rode toward Appomattox Court House accompanied by Federal Officers Lt. Col. Babcock and Capt. William McKee Dunn. Marshall and Johns rode ahead of Lee in order to find a place for the generals to confer. As Marshall passed through the village he saw Wilmer McLean in the vicinity of the courthouse. He asked McLean if he knew of a suitable location, and McLean took him to an empty structure that was without furniture. Marshall immediately rejected this offer. Then McLean offered his own home. After seeing the comfortable country abode, Marshall readily accepted and sent Private Johns back to inform General Lee that a meeting site had been found.
Lee arrived at the McLean house about one o'clock and took a seat in the parlor. A half hour later, the sound of horses on the stage road signalled the approach of General Grant. Entering the house, Grant greeted Lee in the center of the room. The generals presented a contrasting appearance; Lee in a new uniform and Grant in his mud-spattered field uniform. Grant, who remembered meeting Lee once during the Mexican War, asked the Confederate general if he recalled their meeting. Lee replied that he did, and the two conversed in a very cordial manner, for approximately 25 minutes. The subject had not yet gotten around to surrender until finally, Lee, feeling the anguish of defeat, brought Grant's attention to it. Grant, who later confessed to being embarrassed at having to ask for the surrender from Lee, said simply that the terms would be just as he had outlined them in a previous letter.
The terms would parole officers and enlisted men but required that all Confederate military equipment be relinquished. The discussion between the generals then drifted into the prospects for peace, but Lee, once again taking the lead, asked Grant to put his terms in writing. When Grant finished, he handed the terms to his former adversary, and Lee -- first donning spectacles used for reading-- quietly looked them over. When he finished reading, the bespectacled Lee looked up at Grant and remarked "This will have a very happy effect on my army." Lee asked if the terms allowed his men to keep their horses, for in the Confederate army men owned their mounts. Lee explained that his men would need these animals to farm once they returned to civilian life. Grant responded that he would not change the terms as written (which had no provisions allowing private soldiers to keep their mounts) but would order his officers to allow any Confederate claiming a horse or a mule to keep it. General Lee agreed that this concession would go a long way toward promoting healing. Grant's generosity extended further. When Lee mentioned that his men had been without rations for several days, the Union commander arranged for 25, 000 rations to be sent to the hungry Confederates. After formal copies of the surrender terms, and Lee's acceptance, had been drafted and exchanged, the meeting ended.
In a war that was marked by such divisiveness and bitter fighting, it is remarkable that it ended so simply. Grant's compassion and generosity did much to allay the emotions of the Confederate troops. As for Robert E. Lee, he realized that the best course was for his men to return home and resume their lives as American citizens.
Before he met with General Grant, one of Lee's officers (General E. Porter Alexander) had suggested fighting a guerilla war, but Lee had rejected the idea. It would only cause more pain and suffering for a cause that was lost. The character of both Lee and Grant was of such a high order that the surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia has been called "The Gentlemen's Agreement."
PLEASE HELP!! URGENT!!! With the arrival of the Industrial Revolution, machines became the main source of power for manufacturing and transportation. These machines were mostly dependent on fossil fuels—oil and coal. The world’s economy shifted from an agrarian-based economy to an oil-based economy. Today many people believe the world needs to shift again from an oil-based economy to a clean-energy economy. Just as the move from an agrarian-based economy to an oil-based economy created a destabilizing effect on the poor and working class, how might the shift to a clean-energy economy affect today’s poor and working class? How will the shift affect less-developed nations in comparison to more-developed nations?
Answer:
Clean Energy is rather hurting the economy since the transition from fossil fuel to renewable energy is hurting industries that have thrived on fossil fuels and is hurting the economy. It will hurt less-developed nations since the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy is costly and expensive to produce. MDC will have a regression in economy for 2-5 years depending on the factor as companies thriving on fossil fuels will soon go bankrupt and file chapter 11 liquidity bankruptcy, this causes a whole breakdown of the economy.

discuss how the economic and political differences between the patricians and the plebeian classes ultimately led to a plebeian revolt. Include in your discussion the results of the first revolt or secession
The commoners formed the working class of Rome and were a group of merchants, artisans and free workers. Although they played a big role within the society and economy of Rome, they live in great political and social disadvantages in relation to the patricians.
First, the plebeians did not have any government representation, since patricians were only allowed to be present during political meetings. In this way, the patricians established policies that were advantageous for them, but that exploited and punished the commoners in an intense and unpleasant way. In addition, this lack of representativeness meant that the commoners had no political rights whatsoever and prevented them from being related to large properties.
As a result of this, the plebeians started a series of revolts in Rome, which demanded the reform of the city's political institutions. These revolts began in 494 BC and ended in 287 BC, where commoners succeeded in establishing laws that guaranteed the rights of the common people and reformed the taxation that should be paid by them, in addition to promoting political reform in the governmental system of Rome however, the political balance between patricians and commoners remained uneven for some years.

Considering politics, social tensions and debates over the meaning of liberty, how do the events and aftermath of the English Civil War demonstrate that the English colonies in North America were part of a larger Atlantic community

The English colonies in North America were part of a larger Atlantic community in that English people were the ones that decided to leave Britain for different reasons in order to start a new life or in pursuit of better opportunities to make money. Different reasons for different kinds of people.

They were strict religious men and women that left Britain due to the religious persecution of the Church of England. They opted to make the trip to establish a new place to practice their religious teachings freely.

Use your research to write a testimonial about the individual's importance in history. What influence did he or she have on his or her time and place, or on history in general? Describe both negative and positive influences as appropriate.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Te question does not mention any individual in specific, so we assume that we choose the individual we like to write the testimonial.
We choose Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. He was an important figure and led the civil rights movement in the United States. He followed the ideals of liberty and tolerance and influenced millions of people. On his positive side, Dr. King could congregate thousands of people to the civil rights movement cause. He set the example. He was at the very front of the protests and marches. One very good thing he had was that he supported peaceful demonstrations, never violent protests. His "Letter From the Birmingham Jail" and "I Haad a Dream" speech, have influenced modern leaders around the world.
On the negative side, probably he could have been more open and tolerant to negotiate with authorities or to join forces with other black leaders such as Malcolm X, that although he used violence in his protests, the union of more African American leaders could have taken the movement to different dimensions and accomplishments.

The correct answer is B. Gave a voice to a reemerging women's rights movement.
Explanation:
The Feminine Mystique is a book by Betty Friedan that showed the dissatisfaction of women about their "traditional" role during this time. Indeed, the book showed many women who were housewives, were married and had children did not feel fulfilled. This gave a voice to the fight for women's rights because it showed the need for laws and social changes that allowed women to have jobs, access higher education, and in general, explore other roles beyond being wives and mothers. Moreover, this important idea supported the reemergence of the women's rights movement during the time, which caused the second wave of feminism.
