So many errors. Internally inconsistent: Q 11: 2 sieges; Q12: Petersburg and Richmond; Q 31: siege of Vicksburg. FYI one historical source listed 14 sieges during the US Civil War. Q18: bloodiest battle in a day was Antietam. Q13: Forrest as leading Confederate general? What source ranks him above Lee? Q19 and 20: Both Union and Confederates held both East and West at different points in the war. Q21: Anaconda plan partly successful; destruction of Confederate cities led to the end of the war. Q27: Meade performed well at Antietam and after was given command of the Army of the Potomac; McClellan was fired a few months after Antietam. Q 33 is unintelligible and a search in two different search engines showed no results for Jones Junction in the Civil War. Q23 and 24 answers unsupported by responsible historical consensus.
