Explanation:

Question 11

The South (Confederacy) in the Civil War believed that the North (Union) would tire of the war and give up. Option A: The South didn't plan immediate full - scale invasion to conquer. Option B: Destroying the Union government was not their main strategy for winning via waiting out. Option C: Cutting off from European trade wasn't their core winning strategy of waiting for Northern fatigue. So D is correct.

The Civil War resulted in the Union being preserved (A). Slavery was abolished (so B is wrong). States were not allowed to secede (so C is wrong), so D is also wrong.

South Carolina was the first state to secede from the Union after Lincoln's election. Georgia, Virginia, and Alabama seceded later.

Answer:

D. waiting for the Northerners to become so tired of war that they gave up
