Explanation:

Dred Scott v. Sanford is a case where an African American slave named Dred Scott argued that since he was a Missouri slave who traveled to a free state, on his return, he should be a free man.

The Chief Justice at the time disagreed, based on the current constitution of the United States, and in response declared that a slave is not entitled to its freedom, whether it lives in free or slavery states. By stating that abolishing slavery is unconstitutional, the U.S Congress deems that there is no 'free state' to the outrage of the population. This was the status quo until the constitution was amended to include the abolishment of slavery.

(B)  One proposal included clear boundaries for where slavery could and couldn't exist.

(D) One proposal included a clause to compensate slave owners if fugitives could not be returned.

Explanation:

The Crittenden Compromise was a proposal to make slavery part of the constitution, making it impossible to be amended nor changed. In this proposal, slavery states and free states have clear boundaries, and Congress is not allowed to abolish slavery in slavery states. Other components include the provision of allowing compensation for slave owners with runaway slaves which have managed to flee to free states.

There was no mention of tariffs reduction, although it does allow barriers to the African slave trade to be removed so the slave owners can acquires slaves more easily. This proposal did not influence the Anaconda plan.

(A)  To set up a naval blockade along the southern coast

(C)  To seize control of the Mississippi River

Explanation:

The Anaconda Plan is a strategy devised by the Union Army to deal with the Confederacy Army in the beginning of the Civil War. It was developed by  General-in-Chief Winfield Scott.

The strategy, employs the U.S Navy since it is a tactic that focuses on dealing with the Confederacy Army through the seas (Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico) and the river (Mississippi River).  The name is derived from this strategy - when drawn on a map, the blockades and defense employed around the sea and river borders create the image of a snake.

(A) It decreased the likelihood that European countries would help the Confederacy.

(B) It gave African Americans the right to fight in the war.

Explanation:

European countries (Britain, France) entertained the possibility of helping the Confederacy during the war, although it never sent troops to support the Confederacy Army. Their desire for the Confederacy to win was underpinned by their interest in keeping slavery legal.

Britain sold ships to the confederacy, although trades between them dropped during the war. France never sent any aid, although the government at the time (Napoleon III) preferred that the Confederacy won.

The Emancipation Proclamation, which deemed that the slavery is illegal and thus every slave under any states are now free, helped in bringing more than 200,000 African-Americans into the Union Army.
