A. to isolate the city from the rest of the confederacy

The Battle of Atlanta was a Civil War battle, part of the Union's summer Atlanta Campaign. The battle occurred on July 22, with a decisive Union victory, but it would be another six weeks before Atlanta surrendered.

With the battle won, General Sherman established a siege of the city. On September 1st, he pulled out of the city, destroying supply depots as he left. The citizens surrendered the next day. Atlanta became Sherman's new headquarters, from which he launched his march to Savannah, known as the "March to the Sea," destroying everything in his path. Among the destruction, Atlanta's railroads suffered greatly, in an attempt to isolate the city from the rest of the Confederacy.

the median of the data is 4.

step-by-step explanation:

the median means the middle number of a given number.

to decide which one is the median, arrange in ascending or descending order. but sometimes, you may find two(2) number in the middle, but it's easy, just add them together and divide by 2.

so,   determine the median of the data. 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9

it is already arranged, count 3 times forward and 3 backward and the one left is your answer.

2,3,3,4,5,7,9

our answer is 4.

dear friend:

  i hope this letter finds you in soaring spirits and vibrant health. as you had expressed the wish to know about culture, traditions, and unity of india in your previous letter, in the following lines i have tried my best to give you glimpses of our culture, traditions, and unity. you will be amazed to know that our culture is the oldest culture in the world and the birth place of hinduism, buddhism, jainism, and sikhism. you won’t find any other culture as varied and multi-colored, multi-lingual as ours. each region has its own unique culture, traditions, language. there are 22 official languages in india.

  basically, india is a spiritual country with orthodox traditions. for example the people of india believe in traditions set by their wise forefathers. arranged marriages, joint-family system, universal brotherhood, vegetarianism, celebrating festivals such as diwali, holi, eid, etc., are the salient features of our culture and traditions.

  another unique aspect about our country is ‘unity in diversity’. in spite of the multi-lingual, multi-religious, multi-traditional, multi-cultural society, people live peacefully together, respecting one another’s views, cultures, traditions, and differences. i am sure you would love to visit india soon, and have a first-hand experience of the multi-colored culture. give regards to uncle and aunt. do visit india with your family and experience our hospitality.

your friend,
