Explanation:

Question 1

The Battle of Gettysburg was a major turning - point in the Civil War. After the Union victory, the Union Army took the offensive for the rest of the war. The Civil War did not end at Gettysburg (it ended in 1865). There is no direct evidence that more soldiers enlisted immediately after Gettysburg as a direct result of the battle itself. The Union was on the offensive after Gettysburg, not the defensive.

Sherman's March to the Sea was a campaign of total war. It caused extensive destruction in the South. This destruction had long - term negative impacts on the South's economy, infrastructure, and social fabric for many years. It did not create job opportunities and economic growth (at least not in the positive sense in the short - term). The South was demoralized rather than encouraged to fight harder. And it is not clear that without Sherman's tactics the war would have ended sooner; in fact, his tactics were part of a strategy to break the South's will to fight.

Answer:

All future offensives were led by the Union Army.
