Answer:

Question 1: A. to set up a naval blockade along the southern coast

and B. to seize control of the Mississippi River

Question 2: A. It decreased the likelihood that European countries would help the Confederacy

D. It gave African Americans the right to fight in the war

Explanation:

1. The Anaconda Plan was a strategy designed by the Union to limit the Confederacy's advances.  The plan set out to impose a naval blockade on the southern ports and to seize control of the Mississippi River to divide the south in two and give the Union an advantage.  The Mississippi River would also serve as a communications network for the Union and allow them to gain more control of the areas in the south.

2. The Emancipation Proclamation had several effects.  Inside the US territory it freed black slaves in the south allowing them to join the Union army and fight against the Confederacy.

On an international scale, the proclamation tipped European support in favor of the Union and reduced the possibility that foreign countries would get involved on behalf of the Confederacy.

In general terms, it was a strategic move enacted by Lincoln to gain an advantage in the war.

The concept of Enlightenment was brought up during the 17th and 18th century, when scientists decided to focus more on the explanation of the physical universe as well as the human behavior itself, rather than by any individual characteristics. On this note, it is also important to explain that by natural rights, Thomas Jefferson meant those rights that could not be assigned or taken away, but instead were given by being simply a human being. He called those rights inalienable, and he also insisted that ¨all men are created equal¨ and he believed that ¨life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness¨ were the natural rights that had to be guaranteed and protected. Unfortunately, after Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence, the Continental Congress eliminated portions of the original version of his writings after Jefferson submitted the Declaration of Independence on June 28th 1776, and some of the parts that were eliminated were when Thomas Jefferson reproached the practice of slavery on part of the British people, and abuse of power on behalf of royal authorities in the American colonies. The section that talked about slavery in Jefferson´s last grievance to the king, were probably deleted because of objections by southern delegates who could have owned slaves at the time. For Thomas Jefferson, slavery was wrong; however, he had no clear idea of how to eliminate. He feared that if all slaves were to be freed all at once, that maybe their anger, added with the prejudice that would come from the whites, that there would eventually be a clash or a war between the two.  

At the time, some slave-owning Americans believed that slaves could eventually receive the natural rights only when they became civilized, until then, they had to follow orders. Seeing the practices from this time, and comparing how now, in the United States, social groups like the LGBTQ, women, children, teens, young adults and the poor have even more opportunities, more options and have been given more rights protected by the law. The American society has moved along with evolution and has had the chance to include more groups within its self. This in conclusion shows that Enlightenment has been an important part in this. The fact that more and more people choose to accept rights of different social groups shows a move towards more science based decision making, judging an individual based on his knowledge and human behavior rather than physical characteristics
