The correct response is:

The capture of Port Hudson and the surrender at Vicksburg in July 1863 effectively gave the Union control of the Mississippi River, which divided the Confederacy into two halves. This division hindered the movement of supplies and troops, significantly weakening the Confederacy's ability to sustain its war effort.
