Yesterday's Answer:

Rapa Nui”, ("The Navel of the World") is the native population's name for Easter Island.


Today's Question:


Indicate whether this Civil War battle was a victory for the Union or the Confederacy, and the state where the battle took place: Vicksburg.




Not sure if this is a guess or memory but I'm pretty sure Vicksburg is in Virginia and my feeling is that it was a union victory.
