1. Fort Sumter is the correct answer. It marks the beginning of the Civil War as rebel troops attacked the Federal fort.
2. C is the correct answer. From the outset, the South faced an uphill battle as the North was the center of industry and population.
3. B is the correct answer. The blockades came after the declaration of war. It should be said that "State's Rights" is known now as a fake cause of the Civil War pushed by people trying to hide the racist history of the Southern cause.
4. B is largely the answer, although C and D are also reasons. B is the most correct in that the South knew that to win they did not have to conqueror the North but they had to keep the North from conquering them.

Explanation:
Members of the Congress called Radical Republicans vowed to take control of Reconstruction.
Republicans were able to take control of Reconstruction because they had a solid majority - southern Democrats couldn't vote and northern Democrats had lost credibility (they were considered to be pro-Confederacy or, at least, in favor of settling the war vs. winning it). They did so out of profound philosophical differences with President Andrew Johnson over treatment of the former Confederate states and the newly-freed slaves.
Answer:
Answer by Scott Bade, studied history at Stanford University, international security analyst:
In short, the British treated their colonies in vastly different ways, both across different regions and within the same colonies over time.
The British Empire was never a consistent empire. Across various colonies, there were different raisons d’être and methods of organization for each one. Even within America, different Colonies were founded for entirely different reasons. Virginia started out as a mercantile colony run by a company; Massachusetts was originally a Puritan theocracy; New York was a crown colony taken over from the Dutch; and Maryland and Pennsylvania were religiously tolerant colonies governed by (relatively) benign hereditary feudal rulers (called proprietors), the Barons Calvert and the Penn family. South Carolina, with its rice and indigo plantations, was more akin to a Caribbean colony than its continental neighbors.* At the same time that the American Colonies were emerging, the East India Company established outposts in India, and the Royal African Company did much the same in Africa. None of them were uniformly governed or similar in character; the British government occasionally took notice but generally was not involved in their governance.
