D. to protect its ability to trade with Britain and France

The correct answer is B. To be recognized as an independent nation

Explanation:

The Southern states of the United States including states such as South Carolina, Alabama, Louisiana, and Florida created the Confederate States of America in 1861. The purpose of this was to be recognized as an independent nation, and in this way avoid the end of slavery. Indeed, the main motivation for the Southern states to secede from the United States was slavery because the economy of the Southern states depended on slaves, and the elected President Abraham Lincoln wanted to abolish it. This dispute and secession led to the Civil War from 1861 to 1865. According to this, the main goal of the South in this context was to be recognized as an independent nation.
