Question

1. what was one advantage the south had over the north?○ southerners believed that the north lacked the courage to fight.○ southerners believed deeply in lincolns ability to avoid war.○ southerners believed passionately about their cause.○ southerners believed that slavery was not important.

Explanation:

During the lead-up to the American Civil War, Southerners held the view that Northerners were more focused on industrial and commercial pursuits, and thus lacked the martial courage and willingness to fight that they believed Southerners possessed, seeing this as a key military advantage. The other options are incorrect: Southerners did not doubt Lincoln's resolve to act against slavery expansion, were deeply committed to their pro-slavery cause (but this is not an advantage over the North), and they viewed slavery as central to their economy and society.

Answer:

Southerners believed that the North lacked the courage to fight.
