The Alien and Sedition Acts (1798) were four laws passed by Federalists that restricted the activities of foreign residents in the country, allowed the government to deport foreigners seen as "dangerous", made it difficult for immigrants to vote, requiring them to reside for 14 years in the U.S. to become eligible to vote, and it prohibited public opposition to the government.
1. What led to the passage of the Alien and Sedition Acts?
The Acts were passed after the diplomatic incident called "XYZ Affair" that almost involved the United States and France in war. Facing French foreign threat, the Federalist President Adams created the acts as a way to prevent subversion in the United States against governmental measures.
2. What made them so controversial?
The Acts, especially the Sedition Act, were so controversial because it violated people's rights of freedom of speech and of the press protected under the First Amendment. Under the acts, anyone who wrote, printed, uttered or published any writing seen as false, scandalous and malicious against the government could be imprisoned or would have to pay fines.

Answer: A. They destroyed the South’s morale and captured its capital, forcing the South to surrender.
There were no specific routes, however, Sherman and Grant had targets and if they would be able to bring down their targets, it would be easier for them to take over.
They had destroyed many cities in the South so that they won’t be able to wage war because of the damages they had done in those cities.
