As far as I now, Marcus Perpena (the consul of 92 BC) was said to have lived to 98. I found this on a website called Quora. (not trying to advertise)
Hope this helped!
1. Security
2. Patriotism and common celebrations (they worked on moral and pride of their people)
3. Since it was a communist regime, they were pursuing equality so there was that middle class that carried the society therefore there were neither extremely rich nor extremely poor people
4. During the period of Vladimir Lenin (Stalin period was too harsh as well as the rest), they had sound economy when the whole world was on its knees. Tactics that were applied by this man were genial and enough to make the USSR stable in the worst period of economical history.
5. Witnesses (elders of Russia) keep saying that the life back in the USSR was the best period of their lives so it somehow must be true
They faced racism constantly

Your questions asks why the Southern Military (Confederacy) decided to defend instead of attack.
Your answer would be C). Southern leaders thought their knowledge of Southern lands would help them defeat the Union forces.
The reason why this would be the correct answer is because the South believed that their knowledge of their land would give them the advantage in winning the war. In other words, you can say that the South "played home field." The terrain in the South was different than the terrain in the North, so they used it to get the Northerners (the Union) confused when trying to attack them. The Southerners knew where everything is: all of the bases, hiding spots, etc, and used it to a certain advantage. All in all, the Southern leaders thought that the Union would be weaker on unknown territory.
