Explanation:

1. After Abraham Lincoln's assassination in 1865, his vice president, Andrew Johnson, assumed the presidency.
2. The Anaconda Plan was a Union military strategy focused on blockading Confederate ports and controlling the Mississippi River to cut off supplies and "suffocate" the Confederacy.
3. Andrew Johnson was impeached in 1868 for violating the Tenure of Office Act, which restricted presidential removal of certain officials without Senate approval.
4. The 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified in 1865, formally abolishing slavery across the United States.
5. Lincoln delayed the Emancipation Proclamation until after the Union victory at Antietam in 1862, fearing early announcement would push border states (slave states that remained in the Union) to join the Confederacy.
6. The Sanitary Commission was a Union organization that worked to improve hygiene, medical care, and health conditions for Union soldiers during the Civil War.
7. The Confederate defeats at Antietam and Gettysburg were major turning points; they ended Lee's invasions of the North, dented Southern morale, and made it nearly impossible for the Confederacy to gain foreign recognition or support, leading to irreversible casualties they could not replace.
