Explanation:

First Sub - Question (What does this political cartoon illustrate?)

The political cartoon "Scott's Great Snake" illustrates the Union's Anaconda Plan. The first blank should be filled with "Union" as it was the Union that had the strategy to blockade the Confederacy and split it in half. The second blank is "Confederacy" because the Union aimed to blockade the Confederate states to cut off their supplies and split them.

The Union (first blank) wanted to block the access of the Confederacy (second blank) to ports like the Savannah port. This is because the Confederacy relied on ports for supplies and trade, and the Union's Anaconda Plan aimed to disrupt this by blockading Confederate ports, with Georgia's ports (like Savannah) being part of the Confederate - controlled areas.

Answer:

First blank: Union; Second blank: Confederacy
