Answer 1

Option (A), Alexander Stephens disagreed with the statement in the Declaration of Independence that 'all men are created equal,' and instead believed in the supremacy of the white race.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alexander Stephens, the Vice President of the Confederate States of America during the Civil War, did not agree with the statement in the Declaration of Independence that "all men are created equal". Stephens believed in the inequality of races and argued that the Confederacy was founded upon the idea that there was a natural dominion of the white race over the black race. This was in direct contradiction to the principle of equality stated in the Declaration.
