Question

1. how did the south attempt to compensate for its disadvantages?

southern leaders approached foreign governments for aid.
southern leaders devised the anaconda plan to end the war quickly.
confederate troops remained within their own territory at all times.
the south quickly began building factories and railroad lines.

Explanation:

• The Anaconda Plan was a Union strategy, not a Southern one. Confederate troops often launched offensive operations outside their territory, so they did not stay within their territory at all times. The South lacked the industrial infrastructure and resources to quickly build large numbers of factories and railroads. To compensate for its disadvantages (like smaller industrial capacity and population), Southern leaders sought aid from foreign governments such as Britain and France, hoping these nations would recognize the Confederacy and provide military and economic support.

Answer:

Southern leaders approached foreign governments for aid.
