Answer: Economy
Explanation:
Much like in politics, war is usually decided by money. Who has enough money to finance the war campaign such that their soldiers can get the best equipment and means to keep up the war effort.
The North had that advantage over the South and other advantages flowed from this. With a superior economy which was based on industry and finance, the North could levy taxes and collect more money from their people than the South could.
With this money they were able to buy better guns, better equip their navy, supply food to their soldiers and transport them around on railroads as well. The economy of the North made it such that they had a resource advantage over the South and they used this to their advantage from the mid to the late stages of the war.
According to " 3 Reasons Brits voted for Brexit" by George Friedman, the three main causes which led up to UK's decision to leave the EU were :
- Rise of nationalism in the world which lead to growing distrust of multinational functions like EU.
- Secondly British argued that EU failed to solve economic problems like unemployment in South Europe since 2008.
- Third reason was political Elitism.
- so 2nd option i.e political elitism and nationalism along with economic stagnation is correct answer.
All of these are defensible. Of course debt rises in war, and decreasing taxes will benefit an economy where taxes are no longer needed (post-scarcity.) Political and geographical boundaries are outmoded and a world without them is not only possible but existed for much of early human civilization. As for the government, a government would run more efficiently when everyone is in basic agreement with what to do and how.
I would question your teacher on this. Anyone can defend these perspectives...
It adresses the problem where one side would control the other sides of the government and have too much power
