C. It was able to trade textiles for firearms


D. It could produce cotton for trade

Answer 1

The correct answer is A) It's government was well established.

At the outbreak of the Civil War, the American government has had the same structure for over a little less than a century. Whereas the Confederacy declared themselves free from the Union and created their own form of government that was extremely inexperienced. By the time the Civil War started, the Confederates had a government that had been in place for less than a year.
