Answer:

1- Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland, and Delaware were all slave border states that had remained in the Union.

2- The factor that contributed most to the increased importance of literature in American culture during the 19th century was the success of major social-reform movements.

3- The Battle for Fort Sumter gave the Confederacy possession of an important military base.

Explanation:

1- Maryland had numerous pro-confederation officers, who allowed the burning of bridges and riots against the Union in Baltimore. Lincoln responded with martial law and the sending of troops. The militia units that had been penetrating into northern territory rushed to Washington and Baltimore. Before the Confederate government realized what was happening, Lincoln had gained firm control over the entire state of Maryland and the District of Columbia, arrested the separatist members of the state government and put them on trial.

In Missouri, a convention elected to decide on secession voted to remain loyal to the Union. When the pro-Confederate governor Clairborne F. Jackson called the state militia, it was attacked by federal forces under the command of General Nathaniel Lyon, who cornered the governor and the State Guard in the southwestern corner of the state. The group elected to decide on secession took power as provisional government after the expulsion of the governor.

Kentucky did not leave the Union. For a time it declared itself neutral. However, the Confederates broke neutrality by taking Columbus in September 1861. This led the state to a confrontation against the Confederacy and the reaffirmation of its allegiance to the Union despite trying to maintain its slave laws.

2-The 19th century in the United States implied a series of social reforms and cultural movements never seen before in the history of the nation. As a consequence, a large number of ideological currents began to spread, thus encouraging the reading of different authors according to the ideology that they supported; indirectly contributing to the expansion of literature in the nation.

3- The Battle of Fort Sumter was a bombing carried out between April 12 and 13, 1861, by the army of the Confederate States of America with the intention of expelling the federal troops that occupied the fortification of Fort Sumter, located at the entrance to the bay of Charleston in South Carolina. The importance of this battle, which did not cause casualties, is that it was the trigger that started the Civil War (1861-1865), the bloodiest conflict that occurred in the United States.
