The answer is B

Explanation:

The Union troops launched an attack on the last major Confederate stronghold named Vicksburg, after a series of attacks. The Union troops split the Confederacy into two because it cut the states of Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas from the rest of the confederate states.

abraham lincoln, according to anyone who was connected with agriculture, represented the worst of northern politicians. shortly after lincoln was elected, south carolina seceded from the union. they along with other southern states, retained their anger. in a way, it was their own fault: the democrats were split in the south. some wanted slavery to be extended in other states that were about to join the union and some didn't want it badly enough. lincoln had a solid backing from his party: the republicans were united in not wanting slavery to be expanded.
