Explanation:

• The first option describes the North's industrial economy, which is a key economic difference from the South's agrarian slave-based economy, supporting the claim.
• The second option details the South's dependence on slave labor, a core economic/social difference from the North, supporting the claim.
• The third option refers to secession, which was a result of the tensions from these differences, not a fact that supports the claim that differences caused the war.
• The fourth option notes cross-class/culture cooperation in the North, which contrasts with the South's rigid slave-based social structure, supporting the claim of social differences.

Answer:

○ Seven states seceded from the Union.
