¶ … Union achieve victory in these years? The way that Union was able to achieve victory between 1863 and 1865 was: through a war of attrition, dividing the Confederacy along with taking the fight to the heart of the South. A war of attrition would take place, once Grant was given command of all Union forces. Where, he would continue to pursue Lee in game of cat and mouse. What happened was Grant's processor; (McClellan) was reluctant to engage Lee, as he was waiting for the right moment. This would allow Lee to continue to escape a number of near defeats. Once Grant became the Supreme Commander of all Union forces, he would not make the same mistake that McClellan would, by pursing Lee until he would no longer have the will to fight. This meant that Grant would have to engage Lee in bloody battles, whittling his army down to fraction of its size. Between the years of 1863 and 1865, this would cause the total Union casualties and deaths to skyrocket. A good example of this can seen with Lee's final victory of war (Cold Harbor). Where, Grant would order a final charge, allowing Lee to escape in the confusion surrounding the ravens that two of his units were trapped in. This would lead to calls that Grant was nothing more than a butcher, who was constantly engaging in pointless battles that waste precious resources. While this is true to a certain extent in the case of Cold Spring Harbor, the reality is that Grant's tactics of consistently engaging Lee would wear...
This would eventually lead to him, facing the possibility of trying to retreat into the mountains or surrendering. (Hickman)

Future of Unions in Labor Relations Unions came about from the struggles and pain that individuals had to go through early on in history. Unions were something that did not spring up overnight, but rather took a great deal of time to develop as individuals began working out for themselves what types of organizations would be the best to protect their rights and ensure that they could not be treated cruelly
Peace without Victory, 1861-1865," author James M. McPherson discusses the American Civil War and the desire on both sides to achieve peace. Wars are far more easily begun than ended. The North was fighting in order to keep the Union together and to thwart further states from seceding. The South was fighting for what they believed to be their moral right: to govern according to their own ethics, including
The Soviet Union had been administered for the past 70 years through a tight control on information. Gorbachev's policy of openness threw open the floodgates. The Soviet people had been kept on a tight leash through tight control on information and "fear" by an oppressive government. (Kedzie, 1997) the lifting of the fear factor did not result in, as Gorbachev had hoped, improvement in the social and economic conditions
