Question

Which side appeared to be stronger at the beginning of the Civil War?

Answer 1

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the first option. The side which appeared to be stronger at the beginning of the Civil War would be the  North because of its well-established government.  The North also had a stable central government as compared to the south.

Answer 2

The correct answer is the North because of its well-established government.

Before the Civil War, the United States already had a well-established government for over 70 years. However, the South, had to develop their own system of government, own military forces, and own supplies before they could successfully fight the Union army.
