This question is incomplete. Here´s the complete question.

What did President Lincoln risk if he chose to resupply Fort Sumter?

A. Abandonment of the fort by Union soldiers.

B. Abandonment of the fort by Confederate soldiers.

C. The appearance of giving in to the Confederacy.

D. Armed conflict with the Southern soldiers.

Answer: D. armed conflict with the Southern soldiers.

Explanation:

South Carolina militia had declared that any attempt to resupply Fort Sumter would be seen as an act of aggression.  

Knowing the fort was running out of supplies, Lincoln announced his plan to send three unarmed ships to relieve Fort Sumter rather than sending a military expedition to reinforce and resupply, because he wanted the Confederacy to understand this action was not meant to be an attack, but an attempt to peaceably land provisions only.

What was the main purpose of the US reply?
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

I hope there was more information on the question but I'll try to answer according to how I understand it.

The answer is: to cast a blame on the USSR

Explanation:

I believe the question is related to the "Cold War." This war happened after Germany surrendered to the USA.

Before the war, the USA and the Soviet <em>(USSR)</em> were already allies against the "Axis Power"<em> (Japan, Germany and Ital</em>y<em>).</em> However, it was said that the Soviet already resented the USA especially at one point when it couldn't help the Russians earlier during the World War II. The USA, also has been very cautious about the Russian's "communism" even before the events. <u>So, both of these countries have already been wary of each other.</u>

The main purpose of the US reply was to cast the blame on the USSR. The reply was made in a<em> telegram</em> by George Kennan, a diplomat. It talked about the "containment strategy." This means that the USA could block the Soviet any time they feel like they're a risk to the nation. This even resulted to an advancement in the Cold War, such as the two countries empowering on<u> "atomic bombs."</u>
