Answer
A
both armies could no longer wage war effectively.
B
both Union and Confederate morale changed.
C
the Confederate army decided to surrender.
D
the Union army decided to surrender.

Explanation

Gettysburg was a major Union victory that ended Lee’s invasion of the North and boosted Union confidence, while Confederate morale suffered after heavy losses and retreat. The battle did not end either army’s ability to fight, and the Confederacy did not surrender until 1865. Therefore, the correct choice is “both Union and Confederate morale changed.”
