Explanation:

Analyze Question 10

The question asks why former enslaved people who escaped to Union lines were referred to as "contraband." During the Civil War, Union General Benjamin Butler declared escaped slaves as "contraband of war" to avoid returning them under the Fugitive Slave Act. Since the Confederacy claimed enslaved people as property, the Union army confiscated them as enemy property (contraband) used to support the rebellion. Therefore, refusing to return them was technically in violation of the Fugitive Slave Act, but justified under laws of war.

Analyze Question 11

The question describes a person who was a U.S. Senator from Mississippi, owned a cotton plantation with many enslaved people, and was elected as the President of the Confederacy. This description uniquely identifies Jefferson Davis, who served as the first and only President of the Confederate States of America.

Analyze Question 12

The question describes a Union General who led the Union army through the South, burning towns and homes from Atlanta to Savannah, and then turned north. This refers to General William Tecumseh Sherman and his famous "March to the Sea" campaign, which utilized total war tactics to break the Confederacy's will to fight.
