Answer:
The correct answer to the question: Which of the following did the North not do to mobilize for war?, would be, B: Form a military alliance with Great Britain.
Explanation:
The initiation of conflict between the Union, with the states of the North, and the Confederacy, with its states of the South, around the 1860´s due to the topic of slavery vs. abolition of this institution, led to a lot of efforts on both sides. On the side of the North, there were several measures that were taken by the government in Washington to sustain the war efforts and speedily defeat the South. They used taxes, the establishment of war bonds, the famous greenbacks, passed a Homestead Act in 1862, and took many other steps to ensure success. However, the one thing they did not do, was request assistance from Great Britain or form a military alliance with Great Britain as now any dealings with that European country were strictly comercial in nature. This is why the answer would be B.
