Answer:
Giving the Union control of the Mississippi River
Explanation:
The Union wanted control of the Mississippi to cut off trade and transport for the South. The river being taken also made things harder for the Confederates (because it cut their side in half, so the Union had the upper hand).
Answer:
At the outset of the Civil War, President Lincoln had not spoken out specifically on issues relating to slavery, but on the contrary, had established that abolition of slavery was not one of the mainstays of the Union, but the maintenance of national unity.
Now, as the years and battles progressed, this position was mutating, and in 1863 President Lincoln made his Emancipation Proclamation, by which he freed all the African-American slaves that were in the southern states that were falling into the hands of the Union, urging in turn that they join the northern cause.
Thus, through these types of policies, President Lincoln was including slaves and abolitionists within his political position, leaving the Confederation in ideological check.
