While rooting around our flash-drives for magazine articles, we found our Raritan Valley Community College files. So we're adding a new feature: The Friday Final. In the coming months we'll be posting our old tests for reader(s) education and general betterment. Let's get things off properly:
US I
Professor Stroock
Civil War Test
1: Describe Lincoln and his cabinet 2: What was Grant’s art of war? What were his strategy and tactics? 3: Describe Sherman’s March. What was his goal? How did he accomplish his goal? How did his way of war differ from Grant’s? 4: Describe, in detail, one battle of the Civil War. 5: Why do you think the North won the Civil War?
The generation of officers that lead the American Expeditionary Force in the Great War was trained by officers who marched with Grant, Sherman and Sheridan.
For Pershing and his men 'the war' meant The Civil War.
We cover this legacy in Chapter II of Pershing in Command:
We believe there is a one in three chance the United States will be fighting a civil war within a decade.
We believe there is a 75% chance Trump or his successor (Nikki Haley we hope) will have to send Federal Troops into a state (California) or municipality (San Francisco, Austin, Portland, etc...) to enforce Federal law.
Think we're kidding? Item: A lefty mob runs DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielson out of a Mexican Restaurant. Item: Another lefty mob descends on the Nielson's home. Item: Donnie Deutch tells Trump voters their literally Nazis. Item: White House Spokeswoman Sarah Sanders is thrown out of a Northern Virginia Restaurant. Item: Antifa publishes names, addresses, pictures of ICE agents and their families. Item: Amazon employees tell company ICE contract is like literally helping Hitler. Item: Bill Maher once again calls for recession to hurt Trump in elections. Item: various liberal celebrities and politicians say the NRA is a terrorist organization. Item: Peter Fonda calls for the kidnapping and rape of Barron Trump.
How does one share a country with people such as these?
