Which of these was an advantage for the South at the start of the Civil War?

Answer
A
fewer miles of railroad
B
a smaller population
C
an industrial economy
D
a well-led army

Explanation

At the start of the Civil War, the South had several experienced military leaders, including Robert E. Lee and Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson. Strong leadership helped the Southern army perform effectively despite having fewer people, fewer railroads, and less industry. Therefore, “a well-led army” was an advantage for the South.
