And Longstreet missed the entire Battle of Chancellorsville. Lee could win without Longstreet but not without Jackson. |

Gen. Barycki,
My congratulations on what I feel were a successful 2.5 years leading the Academy. Our interactions were always direct and to the point and that's the way I like them. The Army of the Tennessee welcomes you back home. |

He served well in the previous war and was sent to Europe to observe the Crimean War for the army. He also invented a rather famou... |

| This has to be a trick question. But for high schoolers there is no way they would be expected to know anything except the major battles. Gettysburg has to be one answer. Pennsylvania is not a "territory" but a state, I suppose the question is written poorly. The second battle is probably ... |
