The Emancipation Proclamation only freed the slaves in the Confederate states, therefore encouraging them to rise up.
The radical republicans with open arms invited Johnson but after they realized he was gonna follow in lincolns footsteps they turned on him. They mad it as hard as it could be to pass anything and they were going to have him impeached but he didn't get impeached because of one vote
The most important geographic feature was the Appalachians
They had to <span>create a rationing system so that they could send food and suplies over seas for the war effort.
hope this helps
