Answer 1

Answer: Anaconda Plan

Answer 2

Answer: Roger B. Taney

Answer 3

Answer: The Civil War was the most deadly in American history. Disease and lack of adequate medical care contributed to a death rate five times higher than during World War II. The war wreaked tremendous destruction on the South and led to the freedom of over 3 million slaves. The Union was secured, slavery ended, and the Republicans passed legislation to foster economic growth. The status of the conquered South and the rights of freedmen were issues to be resolved. The assassination of Lincoln deprived the nation of his leadership during Reconstruction.

Answer 4

Answer: Northern military strategy proved effective and southern efforts to meet wartime needs fell short. The belief in states' rights and the sanctity of private property undermined united action by the Confederate states. Northerners were more cooperative, disciplined, and aggressive in meeting the organizational and production challenges of wartime.

Answer 5

Answer: Although leaving the Union to conserve a traditional way of life, the South experienced radical transformations, destruction, and widespread impoverishment. The war stimulated expansion of northern agriculture as well as selective industries. Although providing some with riches, the war resulted in economic dislocation for most Americans. Large numbers of women and blacks entered the workforce, at least temporarily.
