Solution
The correct answer is A. Both sides realized that the war would not end quickly.
Here's a step-by-step explanation:
-
The American Civil War began in 1861 and was fought between the Northern states (known as the Union) and the Southern states that seceded from the Union (known as the Confederacy).
-
In the early stages of the war, the Confederacy had several victories. This was unexpected as the Union had more resources and a larger population.
-
These early victories by the Confederacy made both sides realize that the war would not be as short as initially thought. The Union realized that the Confederacy was a formidable opponent, and the Confederacy saw that they could hold their own against the Union.
-
Therefore, the early Confederate victories led to the realization that the war would not end quickly, which is option A.
Options B, C, and D are incorrect. Great Britain never formed a military alliance with the Confederacy (B), the border states did not vote to secede from the United States (C), and President Lincoln did not decide to tolerate slavery in the Southern states (D).
