Option: A. the union was more focused on cutting off resources to opposing forces.
Explanation:
During the Civil War, the Unions plan focused on cutting off resources of the Confederacy. The Union planned to put a blockade in all Southern coasts to eliminate the help from foreign countries. This blocking strategy came to be known as the Anaconda Plan. The Union also wanted to control over the Mississippi River. The river played a significant role for the South because it was the last port on the river held by them. Confederate troops provided goods and ammunition to Louisiana, Texas, and Arkansas.
George Washington took over treaty negotiations with the Creek Nation of First Nations and also took a line of neutrality in foreign affairs since he knew his country was militarily rather weak since it was a fledgling country so preferred to not make war on foreign powers.
The battle began badly for the Americans when Lee botched an attack on the British rearguard at Monmouth Court House. A counter-attack by the main British column forced Lee to retreat until Washington arrived with the main body.
