Answer 4

The main reason secessionists gave to leave the Union at Georgia’s Secession Convention was to preserve the institution of slavery. The defense of slavery was central to the debate and was a primary cause of secession for Southern states, including Georgia. Secessionists argued that the election of Abraham Lincoln, who was perceived as a threat to the institution of slavery, and the growing anti-slavery sentiment in the Northern states endangered their way of life and the economic foundation of slaveholding states. Thus, the preservation of slavery was the dominant issue that led to Georgia's decision to secede from the Union.

Answer 5

The main reason the Union blockaded the port of Savannah during the Civil War was to prevent needed supplies from entering the Confederacy. This strategy was part of the Anaconda Plan, which was a Union strategy to blockade Southern ports and restrict the Confederacy's trade, thereby depriving it of essential goods and weakening its economy. By cutting off the supply lines and restricting the Confederates' ability to import arms, munitions, and other supplies, the Union blockade aimed to strangle the Southern war effort.
