Explanation:

1. Question 5: The Emancipation Proclamation freed slaves in areas of the Confederacy that were in rebellion against the Union. It did not free slaves in the border - states that remained loyal to the Union or in the North as slavery was already largely abolished there.
2. Question 6: King Cotton diplomacy was the South's attempt to use its cotton exports to gain European support during the Civil War. However, it was a failure as European countries found alternative sources of cotton and did not intervene on the South's behalf.
3. Question 7: The Republicans rejected the Crittenden Compromise because they objected to possibly expanding slavery. The compromise aimed to make concessions to the South regarding slavery in an attempt to avoid the Civil War, but the Republicans were opposed to any expansion of the institution.
4. Question 8: During the Civil War, the Confederate cause was harmed by currency inflation (which led to economic instability), its own states' rights philosophy (which sometimes led to disunity), and the northern blockade of shipping (which cut off vital supplies). Fighting a defensive war was not a major hindrance to the Confederate cause compared to these other factors.
