Question

QUESTION 4 Which statement reflects the status of the Civil War in its second year, after the Battle of Antietam? The South had no victories and was ready to give up. Davis and Lee had decided to attack the northern states in New York. Lincoln had fired McClellan for good and was ready to sign the Emancipation Proclamation. The North had captured several southern cities and was ready to have the southern states rejoin the Union.

Answer 1

Lincoln had fired McClellan for good and was ready to sign the E.P

Answer 2

Answer: Lincoln had fired McClellan for good and was ready to sign the Emancipation Proclamation.

Step-by-step explanation:

After the Battle of Antietam, when General George McClellan once again hesitated at attacking the enemy, Abraham Lincoln ultimately decided to relieve the general of his position.

Also, that same battle allowed Abraham Lincoln to declare the Emancipation Proclamation that declared the freedom of slaves in rebel territories only five days after the battle.
