What is the correct chronological order of the given historical events?

  1. James Buchanan elected president, Lincoln issues Emancipation Proclamation, Sherman victorious in Atlanta, Andrew Johnson impeached

  2. Lincoln issues Emancipation Proclamation, Sherman victorious in Atlanta, James Buchanan elected president, Andrew Johnson impeached

  3. James Buchanan elected president, Sherman victorious in Atlanta, Lincoln issues Emancipation Proclamation, Andrew Johnson impeached

  4. James Buchanan elected president, Lincoln issues Emancipation Proclamation, Sherman victorious in Atlanta, Andrew Johnson impeached

The correct answer is: James Buchanan elected president, Lincoln issues Emancipation Proclamation, Sherman victorious in Atlanta, Andrew Johnson impeached

The correct chronological order of the events listed is accurately represented by the choice indicating that James Buchanan was elected president, followed by Abraham Lincoln issuing the Emancipation Proclamation, then General William Tecumseh Sherman achieving victory in Atlanta, and concluding with the impeachment of Andrew Johnson. To provide context: 1. James Buchanan became president in 1857, serving until 1861. His presidency was marked by increasing tensions leading up to the Civil War. 2. Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, during the Civil War, as a pivotal move to free enslaved people in Confederate-held territory. 3. Sherman's capture of Atlanta occurred in September 1864, representing a significant Union victory that bolstered the North's morale and helped ensure Lincoln's reelection. 4. Andrew Johnson was impeached in 1868 after succeeding Lincoln, largely due to political conflicts with Congress over reconstruction policies. In this sequence, each event follows logically in terms of their historical occurrence, illustrating the progression of events during and immediately after the Civil War period. This choice effectively captures the timeline of crucial moments in American history.
