Answer 5

1) Abolishonists belieived slavery was wrong and wanted to do away with the practice. Most well known was probably John Brown who led a raid to try to get slaves to revolt on their owners. He was captured in Harpers Ferry VA and was hung.

2) South Carolina was first then Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia and Florida, Louisiania, and Texas

3)The Gettysburg Address was a speech given by Lincoln after the Battle of Gettysburg. It was given on November19 1863 and is still reenacted every year.

4) These answers are all really wrong but I would say that the Confederate Generals were better leaders at the beginning of the war. The other reason the South won so many battles was they were fighting for their freedom on their own territory.

5) John Wilkes Boothe was all of the above

6)Vice President Andrew Johnson took overe after the assassination of President Lincoln.

7)The emancipation proclomation was the official annoncement of the end of slavery in the South, but only in those areas of rebellion so it did not free the slaves in the North.

8)The first Capitol of the Confederate States of America was in Montgomery Alabama and They elected Jefferson Davis as President. The capitol was later moved to Richmond, Virginia.

9)All of these were results of the war

10)As a result of the war the South experienced many hardships and it took many years to repair the damages caused by the Civil War.
