Answer 1

The correct chronological order of the battles is option 'C': 1st Battle of Bull Run, Shiloh, Antietam, and Fredericksburg, with dates ranging from July 21, 1861, to December 15, 1862.

Step-by-step explanation:

The battles listed in choice 'C': 1st Battle of Bull Run, Shiloh, Antietam, Fredericksburg, are indeed placed in the correct chronological order based on the dates they occurred during the American Civil War. To provide a step-by-step explanation:

1. 1st Battle of Bull Run, also known as First Manassas, from July 21, 1861, was the first major land battle of the Civil War.
2. Next came the Battle of Shiloh, which took place from April 6 to April 7, 1862, resulting in a Union victory.
3. Following Shiloh was the Antietam battle on September 17, 1862, which remains the bloodiest single day in American history.
4. The last in this sequence is the Battle of Fredericksburg, which occurred on December 11-15, 1862.

These battles are not only significant due to their impact on the course of the war but also because of their tactical and political consequences, including the Emancipation Proclamation which came after Antietam.
