The conflict had faded from popular memory within fifteen years of the end of the U.S - Mexico war, but it has not disappeared, due to the outbreak of the U.S. Civil War.
A. The conflict had faded from popular memory within fifteen years of the end of the U.S - Mexico war, but it has not disappeared, due to the outbreak of the U.S. Civil War --> "it" has ambiguous noun (conflict/war). Also wrong usage of past participle.
B. The conflict has faded from popular memory but it has not disappeared, due to the outbreak of the U.S. Civil War within fifteen years of end of the U.S - Mexico war --> CORRECT verb tense, the effect of the conflict is an on-going process which started in the past.
C. Within fifteen years of the U.S - Mexico war’s end, the conflict faded from popular memory, but it did not disappear, due to the outbreak of the U.S. Civil War --> "war's end" is not the correct usage. "end of war" is clearer
D. Within fifteen years of the U.S - Mexico war’s end, the conflict had faded from popular memory, but it did had not disappeared, due to the outbreak of the U.S. Civil War --> Same as C
E. The conflict has not disappeared but it has faded from popular memory due to the outbreak of the U.S. Civil War within fifteen years of end of the U.S - Mexico war --> flips the meaning. fade but not disappear is better
IMO, Answer is B
