The correct answers are as followed:

1) John Wilkes Booth

John Wilkes Booth was a Confederate sympathizer who disagreed entirely with Lincoln's views for Reconstruction. This was one of the biggest factors behind his desire to kill the President.

2 )It crippled the Confederate war effort in the wake of the destruction.

Sherman's March to the Sea resulted in a severe amount of damage in the state of Georgia. This march used the idea of total war, in which Union soldiers destroyed all property in their path. This included crops on plantations, houses, and railroad tracks. Ultimately, this left the South in ruins and with limited transportation.

3) alerted president Davis to evacuate Richmond

Richmond was the Confederate Capital. Once the Union army made progress to wards this site, General Robert E Lee ensured that Davis should leave before the Union soldiers were able to invade and possibly take over.
