Answer: D. Once Fort Sumter fell, the South was treated as a separate nation, which led to the secession of eight states.

Explanation:

Maj. Robert Anderson, Sumter’s commander, respectfully but strongly rejected a formal surrender demand, requested by the Confederates. The next morning, Confederate batteries began a 34-hour bombardment. Anderson’s ninety-man garrison were no match for the concentric fire from Confederate artillery. Offered honorable terms on April 14, Anderson surrendered the Federal fort, saluted his U.S. flag with fifty guns, and, with his command, was conveyed to the fleet outside the harbor to be taken to New York City. Undoubtedly, the Confederates fired the first shot of the war and with that rash act removed many difficulties from Lincoln’s path in his efforts to preserve the Union. On the fifteenth Lincoln personally penned a proclamation declaring the seven Southern states in insurrection against the laws of the United States.

Who believed force should be used to preserve the union

Tresset [83]

Answer:

Abraham Lincoln.

Explanation:

Abraham Lincoln was President of the United States from 1861 to 1865. Prior to his political career, he worked as a ferry, general merchant and post office manager, among others. Unlike previous presidents, he was a congressman for only one term. Even in the army, he served only a short time as a volunteer and was a mere soldier of military rank.

Lincoln had no intention of abolishing slavery, but of limiting it territorially and gradually, but this was seen as a threat in the south of the country. Shortly after taking office, the southern pro-slavery states seceded from the Union and formed the Confederation, and the United States plunged into civil war. In view of this situation, Lincoln saw the use of force as the only suitable means to maintain the union of the country, and avoid the effective secession of the Confederacy.

Finally, Lincoln managed to win the Civil War and unite the country. He greatly influenced the subsequent status of the black population in the United States and is widely regarded as one of the best presidents in the country.
