Read the excerpt from The Dark Game by Paul

Janeczko
What topic does Janeczko introduce in this passage?
O the power of Washington, D.C., during the Civil War
O the lives of famous spies during the Civil War
O the most effective methods for crossing enemy lines
O the South's geographical advantage in the Civil War
Most of the war was fought in states south of
Washington, D.C., so Southerners saw the Union army
as an invading force. For the Union soldiers, this meant
they had to fight in unfamiliar and hostile territory. This
matter of geography affected the spies who worked
behind enemy lines. Northern spies could not often
count on much hospitality from Southerners. On the
other hand, since so much of the war was fought in the
South, Confederate spies could usually find a safe
house, or at least a sympathetic soul who was willing to
allow a "good southern boy" to hide in their barn until
the danger had passed

Answer:

the South's geographical advantage in the Civil War

Step-by-step explanation:

Although Janeczko´s non-fiction novel is aimed to explore the stories of real, and sometimes famous, spies in the history of The United States, this particular passage refers exclusively to the geographical advantage Southerners had during the Civil War.

Given that Southern states were the most often place for the confrontation, the Confederate spies found it easier to be safe, while the Union spies were at a disadvantage because they were in an unknown and unfriendly region.
