Question

multiple choice question during the civil war, civilians in the south were more likely to face hardships than northern civilians, in large part because union soldiers were more brutal than confederate soldiers. most of the fighting took place in the south. goods from northern factories continued to arrive but were more expensive. they contributed more resources to the war effort than northern civilians did.

Explanation:

To determine why Southern civilians faced more hardships, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: There's no evidence Union soldiers were more brutal.
• Option 2: Most Civil War battles were in the South. This meant Southern civilians lived in war zones, with destruction of property, disruption of daily life, and resource shortages due to fighting in their region.
• Option 3: While goods might be expensive, the primary hardship driver was the war's physical presence.
• Option 4: Southern resources were limited, and Northern civilians had more industrial support, so this is false.

So the key reason is the fighting location.

Answer:

most of the fighting took place in the South.
