What was the confederate goal in the western theater during the civil war?
a. to make up for losses in the east
b. to gain a victory on union soil
c. to invade the north from the west
d. to maintain control of key rivers

It's d. to maintain control of key rivers

saw someone else ask this question and someone gave them C as the answer which is definitely not right. if the union were to gain control of the rivers (which they did) they word separate the confederacy and it would be harder for the confederacy to receive and send goods.

i think it would be a

the answer is c, all the other options are things they are known for.

hope this ☺️
