1. Fort Sumter is the correct answer. It marks the beginning of the Civil War as rebel troops attacked the Federal fort.

2. C is the correct answer. From the outset, the South faced an uphill battle as the North was the center of industry and population.

3. B is the correct answer. The blockades came after the declaration of war. It should be said that "State's Rights" is known now as a fake cause of the Civil War pushed by people trying to hide the racist history of the Southern cause.

4. B is largely the answer, although C and D are also reasons. B is the most correct in that the South knew that to win they did not have to conqueror the North but they had to keep the North from conquering them.

b. the passage of the equal rights amendment
