Vicksburg was essential to controlling the Mississippi River.
Explanation:
The city of Vicksburg in Mississippi was one of the most important locations that would help determine who succeeds in the Civil War. And it was the desire to conquer this city that Lincoln famously declared as "the key".

The term "de-Stalinization" refers to the political reforms enacted by Nikita Khrushchev.

The correct answer is Keynes.
Keynes supported free markets but as long as these were regulated by state intervention in order to soften the peaks and troughs in the business cycle. Therefore, in his opinion, the three economic questions (what to produce, how and for whom) should be answered by the economic agents in the markets, but always under the supervision of the state.
Smith was an advocate of free markets and of supressing state interventionism. On the other hand, Marx was in favour of massive intervention of the state because he considered markets to produce un unfair distribution of wealth in the states, where the richer ones exploited the poor.
