How did the outcomes of these battles and the geography of the surrounding areas affect the war?
A.
Confederate victories at the Battles of Antietam and Gettysburg allowed the Confederacy to control strategic passes in the Appalachian Mountains.
B.
Union victories at the Battles of Vicksburg and Atlanta allowed the Union to disrupt major river and railroad Confederate supply lines.
C.
Union victories at the Battles of Vicksburg and Fort Sumter allowed the Union to control major waterways early in the Civil War.
D.
Confederate victories at the Battles of Fort Sumter and Atlanta allowed the Confederacy to move supplies from Charleston Harbor to the interior.
A. Confederate victories at the Battles of Antietam and Gettysburg did not allow the Confederacy to control strategic passes in the Appalachian Mountains. This statement is inaccurate.
B. Union victories at the Battles of Vicksburg and Atlanta did indeed allow the Union to disrupt major river and railroad Confederate supply lines. This significantly weakened the Confederacy's ability to sustain their troops and maintain their war effort.
C. Union victories at the Battles of Vicksburg and Fort Sumter did not directly allow the Union to control major waterways early in the Civil War. The Battle of Vicksburg did grant the Union control over the Mississippi River, which was a major waterway, but Fort Sumter was not a battle that resulted in a Union victory.
D. Confederate victories at the Battles of Fort Sumter and Atlanta did not allow the Confederacy to move supplies from Charleston Harbor to the interior. Fort Sumter was the site of the opening battle of the Civil War, and Charleston Harbor remained under Confederate control throughout most of the war. Atlanta was a major transportation hub in the South, and its loss to the Union was a significant blow to the Confederacy's ability to move supplies.
