Question

“February 9—We established a regular camp here. This last march has been a very hard one, and only a distance of thirty miles. But it took us from Wednesday to Sunday, through snow, rain, and mud ankle-deep and without rations. Kinston is a perfect ruin, as the Yankees have destroyed everything they could barely touch, but it must at one time have been a very pretty town—but now nothing scarcely but chimneys are left to show how the Yankees are trying to reconstruct the Union.”
— Louis Leon, The Battle of Gettysbur

Answer 3

I believe it is A, though after rereading the passage I see it says " Yankees have destroyed everything they could barely touch" then Leon goes on to criticize the Yankees by saying " but chimneys are left to show how the Yankees are trying to reconstruct the Union.”
