Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

B. The war forbade trade with the North for goods.

During the Civil War, the Union (North) imposed a blockade on Southern ports and controlled large parts of the South. This blockade significantly restricted trade between the North and the South, which forced the South to industrialize and become more self-reliant. The inability to access Northern goods and resources led to increased efforts to develop Southern industries, including manufacturing and production, to meet the needs of the Confederacy during the war.
