Question

A.) blacks refused fight for the south
B.) the average soldiers age was 40
C.) 850,000 men fought for the south
D.) most soldiers had been factory workers

Answer 1

Well the average age for soldiers during the civil war was approximately 25, the soldiers fighting varied from factory workers to plantation owners to shop clerks, so I would eliminate that answer, and the souths fighting force was about 750,000 compared to the Unions 2 million.  So I would say the answer is A.
