By July 1863, the Confederacy reached its apex at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Two years later, Confederate General Robert E. Lee surrendered to General Ulysses Grant at Appomattox Courthouse, Virginia, in April. The four-year struggle cost more than 375,000 lives. Which of the following statements corrects a false belief about the Civil War and would make the information in the passage more accurate? o By 1865, there were more than three million dead soldiers on both Confederate and Union sides as a result of the Civil War. o Confederate General Robert E. Le surrendered to General William Tecumseh Sherman at Savannah, Georgia, in 1865. o Slavery was one of several issues, including states’ rights, power in the Senate, and politics, that led to the war. o The farthest north that the Confederate army was able to advance was Antietam Creek, near Sharpsburg, Virginia.
