.
ml
Immediately free all slaves in the United States of America, which Lincoln could finally
accomplish while the U.S. was under strict military rule.

free slaves in both the Confederacy and the United States when the war was over.

would lose their slaves if the U.S. won the war. The purpose of this act was not to free slaves
throughout the United States, but to try to convince the South to surrender as opposed to
risking the loss of their labor force.

To convince the world that the U.S. really did want to free its slaves one day, which would
hopefully keep European powers from aiding the Confederacy during the war.
Question 2 pts
From the Civil War lecture: In the Battle of New Orleans during the Civil War:
A fleet of U.S. warships commanded by Admiral Farragut steamed past the Confederate
fortifications, allowing troops to attack the city from the rear. The result was that
the Mississippi River was now open to a U.S. attack.
Admiral Dewy led the Pacific Fleet around Cuba and destroyed the Confederate Navy at the
Battle of Manila Bay. This kept the Confederate Fleet from being able to defend New Orleans
when the U.S. Navy arrived.
General Grant attempted to attack the city, but was rebuffed by the superior defenses of the
Confederates. This allowed the Civil War to go on for much longer than if there had been a
U.S. victory.
The U.S. submarine "Alligator" was used to attack the sea-ward facing defenses of New
Orleans with mines, causing a distraction. This allowed US troops to sneak by the
Confederate front lines in the confusion and to capture the city.
