Which side appeared to be stronger at the beginning of the Civil War?

the North because of its well-established government


the South because of its many miles of railroad tracks


the South because of its agriculture and food supply


the North because it could trade textiles for firearms

Answer 1

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the first option. The side which appeared to be stronger at the beginning of the Civil War would be the North because of its well-established government. The North also had a stable central government as compared to the south.

Answer 2

The correct answer is the North because of its well-established government.

Before the Civil War, the United States already had a well-established government for over 70 years. However, the South, had to develop their own system of government, own military forces, and own supplies before they could successfully fight the Union army.
