The most accurate choice regarding what the Union needed to do to win the Civil War would be:
**D. force the South to rejoin the United States.**
The Union's main goal was to preserve the nation and maintain the integrity of the United States, which involved defeating the Confederate forces and bringing the Southern states back into the Union. While ending slavery (option A) ultimately became an important objective, especially with the Emancipation Proclamation, the primary objective was to restore the Union. Options B and C would not directly lead to a victory in the war.
