No, option B does not accurately complete the statement.
The correct answer is option A: "it demonstrated the Union’s failure to recognize the Confederate States’ sovereignty and the willingness of Confederates to defend it."
To arrive at this answer, we can look at the historical context of Fort Sumter. Fort Sumter was a federal fort located in Charleston Harbor, South Carolina. It was one of the few forts that remained under Union control after the secession of Southern states.
In April 1861, Confederate forces attacked Fort Sumter, marking the beginning of the American Civil War. The Union's refusal to abandon the fort and the Confederates' determination to seize it demonstrated the Union's failure to recognize the Confederate States' sovereignty and their willingness to defend it. This event heightened tensions between the Union and the Confederacy, leading to a significant escalation of the conflict.
No. Some states seceded before and some after that battle.
