Military point: Battle of Gettysburg

Political point: 1864 Election: When. Abraham Lincoln won the Presidency

The concept was based on the Total siege of all southern coast

Explanation:

The Military turning point during the American Civil War was at the Battle of Gettysburg. This is a battle in which the Confederacy armies led by General Lee were halted by the Union and it stopped the advance of the Confederacy. Thereby Confederacy's chance of winning the war through military means took a turn.

Also, during the 1864 presidential election, Abraham Lincoln won against McClellan who appears to be in support of Southern slavery ideals and philosophy.

However when McClellan lost the election the hope of the Confederacy was dashed.

The concept on which Grant’s strategy to finally defeat the Confederacy and Lee was based on "Total siege of all southern coast." This drained the resources of the Confederacy armies under General Lee.

social contract theory basically says that all individuals are born equal, and provided a god given right to consent to be governed. american government is based of this

thomas hobbes and john locke said that we are selfish, individualistic, and constantly at war with each other, therefore we need to be controlled. 

government is defined as the legitimate use of force to control human behavior within territorial boundaries, here comes in hobbes and locke.

hobbes takes the part about controlling human behavior. while locke takes the part of legitimate use of force, since force is not legitimate unless there is consent of the people. 

there are basically 3 goals of the government: 1) maintain order by protecting life and property. 2) providing public goods, those which are typically not provided by the public sector, such as roads and education. 3) promote equality be it political, opportunist or outcome equality.
