Select the correct answer. How did the North achieve victory in the Civil War? A. through attrition and massive advances on several fronts B. by fighting mainly on Northern territory C. by firing on Fort Sumter D. by relying solely on a naval blockade E. by following the Anaconda Plan

E

Explanation

Why A is wrong- War is not always about power but also skill and willpower. Power did help but did not end the war.

Why B is wrong- most of the fighting in the civil war was done in the west and south to try and rid the south of its waterways

Why C is wrong- The firing on Fort Sumter was the start of the civil war

Why D is wrong- to rely solely on the naval blockade WOULD make it harder for the south to gain access to weapons but would lead Europe to help the south and end in our defeat

Why E is correct- the anaconda plan did not bring an early end to the war as we hoped but did weaken the south greatly and in combination with Lincoln’s plan to pursue land war, it lead to the defeat of the south
