A Monument for Peace by W. M. Akers:

How does the author describe the Confederate troops led by General John Bell

Hood?

A. lacking in discipline

B. courageous and undefeated

C. poorly equipped and outnumbered

D. well-prepared to face the Union soldiers

The answer is C. Poorly equipped and outnumbered.

Explanation:

W. M. Akers' description of the Confederate troops (led by General John Bell Hood) implies that they were poorly equipped to fight because they (the Confederate troops) were up against a superior Union Army, and sometimes, they even fought without shoes. Another description states that the Union troops outnumbered the Confederate troops. Although General John Bell Hood and the Confederate troops attempted to fight, they had no hope of winning.
