Explanation:

• For the first question:
• “Tariff” refers to a tax on imported or exported goods.
• “Blockade” means to prevent goods or people from entering or leaving an area, usually by military means.
• “Inaugurate” is to formally begin or introduce something, like a president’s term.
• “Secede” means to withdraw formally from a political union, such as a country or organization.
• For the second question:
• The Battle of Shiloh was a significant early - stage battle of the Civil War but not the turning - point in the sense described.
• The Battle of Gettysburg (July 1 - 3, 1863) was a major Union victory. After this battle, Lincoln gave the Gettysburg Address.
• The Battle of Vicksburg (May 18 - July 4, 1863) was also important as it gave the Union control of the Mississippi River, but it's not directly associated with the speech mentioned in the question.
• The First Battle of Bull Run (Manassas) was an early Confederate victory and not a turning - point in the described way.
• For the third question:
• Southern states were mainly concerned with the issue of slavery. Lincoln was seen as a threat to the institution of slavery.
• There was no significant concern among Southern states at that time that Lincoln would increase tariffs (a more 1820s - 1830s nullification - crisis related issue in the South regarding tariffs).
• Splitting Texas into six states was not a major concern that led to secession.
• Starting a war with Mexico was not a reason for Southern secession related to Lincoln's election.

Answer:

• First question: Secede.
• Second question: Gettysburg.
• Third question: They believed he would end slavery.
