All except statement 2. Southerners dismissed Northern advantages because:
- They believed Northern industries depended on Southern markets (cotton and trade).
- They doubted Northern public opinion would back a sustained war against the South.
- They thought Northern society and morale would collapse under wartime strain.
- They expected England and France to intervene on the Confederacy’s behalf because of their reliance on Southern cotton.
They did not generally base their confidence on an expectation that they could quickly build a full industrial base; that was impractical and not the primary Southern assumption.
