A. The Confederacy’s region was too large for the Union to control.

Explanation: Confederate strengths included fighting a defensive war on familiar ground and a large territory that was difficult for the Union to occupy. The other choices are false: the Confederacy had far fewer factories and railroads than the North, and its government was weakened by strong states' rights (not a strong central government).
