To determine where most of the actual fighting took place in Texas during the Civil War, we can break down the options and analyze the historical context.
A. Near the Texas capital: While the capital of Texas, Austin, was an important political center during the Civil War, it did not witness significant military engagements.
B. Along the border with Mexico: This is the correct answer. Many of the military actions during the Civil War in Texas occurred along the border with Mexico. This was primarily due to the Confederacy's efforts to prevent Union forces from launching attacks into Mexico and to disrupt the Union's trade with Mexico.
C. Along the Gulf Coast: Although the Gulf Coast of Texas played a role in the war, it did not see as much fighting as the border region with Mexico. The Union did attempt a blockade of the Gulf Coast to restrict trade, but the major military actions were concentrated elsewhere.
D. In the far west: While the far western parts of Texas witnessed some fighting, including battles in the desert regions, it was not the primary location for military engagements during the Civil War.
In summary, the correct answer is B. Along the border with Mexico. Most of the actual fighting in Texas during the Civil War occurred in this region.
