had only 35,000 men and
no food.
headed for atlanta in full
retreat.
planned to reclaim their
capital city.
began to receive
reinforcements.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the historical context of the American Civil War in 1865. When Union soldiers entered Richmond (the Confederate capital), General Lee's army was in a dire situation. Let's evaluate each option:

• "had only 35,000 men and no food": By 1865, Lee's army was severely depleted and faced supply shortages, so this is consistent with historical facts.
• "headed for Atlanta in full retreat": Lee's army was retreating westward but not specifically to Atlanta (Sherman had already taken Atlanta earlier).
• "planned to reclaim their capital city": Richmond was being taken by the Union, so reclaiming it was not feasible.
• "began to receive reinforcements": The Confederacy was collapsing, and reinforcements were not arriving.

Answer:

had only 35,000 men and no food.
