Of the options listed here, I would say that Option C is the best choice.  The Confederacy did generally control the interior of Florida during the Civil War while the Union either maintained control or took control of much of the state’s coast.

Florida was part of the Confederacy during the Civil War.  It was the third state to secede from the Union, doing so in 1861.  However, the state was not particularly important in the war.  There was only one major battle fought there.  At the start of the war, the Union already controlled various forts along the Florida coastline.  As the war went on, the North took some ports because there was simply too much coast for the South to defend and it had a very weak navy. 


All this means that the North was able to exert significant control over much of the coast.  However, the Union’s control did not extend into the exterior.  The North did attempt to invade inland to cut off the flow of supplies from Florida to the rest of the Confederacy, but these attempts generally failed.  For these reasons, I would say that Option C is the best choice for this question.

What is the meaning of "juggling fiends" in Macbeth?

Macbeth is beginning to realize that the three witches have been deceiving him since he first encountered them. Like jugglers, they have kept changing their forecasts in order create confusion. This is particularly apparent when the Second Apparition they raise in Act IV,   Scene 1 tells him that no man of woman born can overcome him in hand-to-hand battle--and then Macbeth finds himself confronted by the one man he has been avoiding out of a...

This is particularly apparent when the Second Apparition they raise in Act IV,   Scene 1 tells him that no man of woman born can overcome him in hand-to-hand battle--and then Macbeth finds himself confronted by the one man he has been avoiding out of a sense of guilt, and that man tells him: Despair thy charm. And let the angel whom thou still hast serve...

In Martel's Life of Pi, how does writing a diary help Pi Patel build on his leadership skills?

At the end of chapter 73, Pi first divulges the fact that he had started a diary after about a week alone at sea. Pi claims that he wrote about "practical stuff" (208) such as what he caught for food, foreseeable problems and solutions, Richard Parker, and reflections about specific events that occurred. In a sense, Pi is the captain of his ship; therefore, he must take responsibility for himself and his crew. He can...

He can do this by writing down events, problems and solutions, and reflections to look back on when confronted with repeated problems. It can ...

Discuss movements that were inspired by the Civil Rights Movement and list one success for each group.

African-Americans contributed in a very big way during World War II. These contributions were demonstrated at home and on the battlefield. After the war, African-Americans properly felt it was time for them to achieve equality with white Americans. During the 1950's, the modern Civil Rights Movement was born and it had a number of successes (integration of the military and Brown vs. Board of Education as examples.) This success inspired other activists to demand change... African-Americans contributed in a very big way during World War II. These contributions were demonstrated at home and on the battlefield.
