<span>2.The cover-up involved criminal activities and obstruction of justice by the President of the United States--The Watergate Scandal showed Nixon's involvement in stealing information from the Democratic headquarters showing interference in the election.

Battle of Antietam gave Lincoln the confidence to order the emancipation of the slaves.

Lincoln first discussed the Proclamation with his cabinet in July 1862. He believed he needed a Union victory on the battlefield to make his decision positive. The Battle of Antietam, in which Union forces rejected the Confederate invasion of Maryland, gave him the opportunity to issue a preliminary proclamation on September 22, 1862.

Explanation:

Final Proclamation was issued On January 1, 1863, when the President of United States, Abraham Lincoln, issued the Emancipation Proclamation, one of the most important documents in American history.
The proclamation proclaimed freedom for all slaves in the states who fought against the Union.
Perhaps the most significant effect of the Emancipation Proclamation was to extend the purpose of the American Civil War. The document made it clear that the war was not fought solely for the sake of rebuilding the Union by accepting the southern states governed by slavery, but also for the complete abolition of slavery.

exis [7]

Answer:

During the Mexico-Texas conflict, President Houston sent out troops to make certain that all Mexican forces were out of San Antonio. A Texan army led by Colonel William S. Fisher ignored orders to return to Gonzales and attacked the Mexican town of Mier. Although they put up a good fight, the Texan army was outnumbered and captured as prisoners. The prisoners were taken back to Mexico City. They escaped, but many were recaptured only a week later. Santa Anna ordered the execution of every 10th prisoner whose fate was to be chosen by lottery. Every prisoner had to take a bean out of a jar; if he chose a black bean, he would be executed. Santa Anna executed 17 men who drew black beans. The remaining prisoners were taken to Perote prison and later released.
