Answer 1

The South lost almost as many men as did the Union, so they gained a respect for their foes' fighting ability.

Step-by-step explanation:

This was an American Civil War which was fought between the South and the Union . The North later joined in the Union in the war against the South which took place in 1861 in Manassas, Virginia.

The Union experienced more casualties during the war and the South were victorious. This led to the Union along with the North being respectful of the South for their fighting ability.
