Question 80

• Option A: The Battle of Antietam was a Union (North) strategic victory, and General McClellan (not Grant) was involved, so A is wrong.
• Option B: The Battle of Antietam (a Union tactical victory) gave Lincoln the opportunity to issue the Emancipation Proclamation, so B is correct.
• Option C: The battle discouraged Britain and France from recognizing the Confederacy, so C is wrong.
• Option D: Since A and C are wrong, D is wrong.

• Indiana: Entered as a free state in 1816.
• New Mexico: Became a territory in 1850, not a state in the first half of the 19th century as a slave state.
• Missouri: Entered as a slave state in 1821 (first half of 19th century) via the Missouri Compromise.
• Wisconsin: Entered as a free state in 1848.

Answer:

B. encouraged Lincoln to issue the Emancipation Proclamation.
