The correct answer is the "Confederate States had superior military leadership for the war."
Answer one is in incorrect because the North had more railroad mileage, citizens, and industry. The only real resource advantage the South had over the North was production of cotton.
Answer three is incorrect because many powerful European nations like Britain and France never formally recognized the Confederacy as an independent country (aka separate from the Union).
Answer four is incorrect because slaves did not work as spies for the Confederacy. Instead, they worked for the Union as spies, as they felt a Union victory would result in their freedom from the institution of slavery.
Therefor, the only correct answer is the second statement.
Answer:
Gettysburg was fought in northern territory, in Pennsylvania. Encouraged by some previous victories over Union forces, the Army of North Virginia under the command of Gen. Robert E. Lee had invaded the North and its goal was to pressure the government of Abraham Lincoln to negotiate peace. The Battle of Gettysburg went on for three days (July 1-3, 1863). Despite some advances of the first day, the Confederates weren´t able to overrun Federal positions and suffered a crushing defeat. Gettysburg became the bloodiest battle of the Civil War at the time. 165, 620 men engaged in battle on both sides, total casualties of both sides amount to 51, 112. Lee had to withdraw to southern territory and from that moment on, the Confederacy fought on the defensive, never regaining the strategic initiative. That´s the impact of Gettysburg, a turning point in the war.
Vicksburg was a strategic fortress that granted control of the Mississippi River, being the key to penetrate the South. It was a major point with military significance and a neuralgic place for southern trade and the smuggling of weapons to break the Union´s blockade. Gen. Ulysses Grant, commander of the Union´s Army of the Tennessee, attacked and laid siege to Vicksburg. Grant´s campaign started in April 1863. The siege lasted 47 days. Finally, the Confederate forces of Gen. John C. Pemberton finally surrendered on July 4, 1863. The loss of Vicksburg opened the gates of the South and left it vulnerable to the invasion of the Union armies.

Answer: Divide: 1/

: 1/

= 1/

· 3/

= 1 · 3/
2 · 1
= 3/

Dividing two fractions is the same as multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal value of the second fraction. The first sub-step is to find the reciprocal (reverse the numerator and denominator, reciprocal of 1/
3
is 3/
1
) of the second fraction. Next, multiply the two numerators. Then, multiply the two denominators. In the following intermediate step, it cannot further simplify the fraction result by canceling.
In other words - one half divided by one third = three halfs.

One of the consequences of the New Deal was that the federal government gained a lot more prominence in the lives of people. The federal government became a lot more involved in many different areas, such as the economy. I believe that this was a positive change, as it allowed the government to intervene at a time when people desperately needed relief programs and assistance.
The Civilian Conservation Corps was a work relief program that operated between 1933 and 1942 as part of the New Deal. This government program provided manual labor jobs to young men in order to help conservation efforts and the development of natural resources in rural areas. This was a positive change as it provided jobs for unemployed people, while at the same time improving the natural ecosystems of the nation. Another example of a New Deal program was the Works Progress Administration. This organization employed men to carry out public works projects, such as the construction of buildings and roads. In a similar way to the Civilian Conservation Corps, this program allowed men to be employed whole at the same time improving cities for everyone.
