what influence did the proposed thirteenth amendment have on peace talks between the union and the confederacy?
a. it ended the possibility of a negotiated peace because it would outlaw slavery.
b. it provided that government by the people should
ot perish from the earth.\
c. it failed to win union support for a peaceful settlement to the war.
d. it provided common ground for both sides to settle the slavery issue.

Explanation:

The proposed Thirteenth Amendment (which would outlaw slavery) eliminated any middle ground for negotiated peace. The Confederacy's core interests relied on preserving slavery, so they would not accept a peace deal that included this amendment, while the Union's position shifted to making slavery's abolition a key war goal. This ended the possibility of a negotiated peace.

Answer:

A. It ended the possibility of a negotiated peace because it would outlaw slavery.
