I need help ASAP 1.During the Civil War, the South’s use of enslaved labor gave it A.an almost unlimited supply of soldiers. B.more workers for its factories. C.a way to keep plantations running. D.a way to disrupt Northern industry.

During the Civil War, the South’s use of enslaved labor gave it a way to keep plantations running (Option "C" is the correct one). Enslaved African Americans, who lived in the South of the US, responded to the American Civil War (1861–1865) in a variety of ways. Some slaves assisted the Confederate war effort, while others were forced to support the Confederacy by working on farms or plantations, in factories and households. There were many slaves who could escape and earn their freedom. Those slaves who remained on their plantations and farms worked as agricultural laborers while their production helped feed both civilians and soldiers. However, much of the wartime agricultural work in the South was carried out by female slaves, since males slaves were hired  for the Confederacy's military and industrial works.

The correct answer is C) a way to keep plantations running.  During the Civil War, the South’s use of enslaved labor gave it a way to keep plantations running. The American Civil was started in 1861 and ended in 1865. During this time, plantations in the southern states continued to produce crash crops due to slavery. Slaves were a very important component of the southern economy. The south did not have the industry that the Union states had so they depended so much on agriculture and slavery to move the economy.
