The correct answer is A. They were fighting for independence
Explanation:
The citizens from the southern states or southerners fought against those from the northern states or northerners during the American Civil which took place from 1861 to 1865 in the U.S. and was mainly motivated as the Southern states seceded from the northern states and wanted to be independent and recognized as a different country this included the states of Texas, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Lousiana, among others.
These states were also motivated to go to the war as their economy depended on slavery as it were the salvers the ones that work in the extensive plantations that support the economy of the South and these states wanted to have the right to continue with slavery. This war was won by the northern states called the Union although the Southerners (Confederacy) fought for four years despite they had a smaller army because they wanted to be independent. Considering this, it can be concluded Southerners had a stronger fighting spirit that Northerners during the Civil War because they were fighting for independece which motivate them to continue in war during four years despite the North was stronger.
