How did the Union's capture of Port Hudson and the Confederates' surrender at Vicksburg divide the Confederacy?

Question

-
1 Confederate armies in Northern states could no longer reach the South.
2 The Confederacy could no longer get supplies from its western states.
3 The Confederacy lost its collective will to continue fighting.
4 the Confederacy lost the faith and support or its cmlians

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

2. The Confederacy could no longer get supplies from its western states.

The capture of Port Hudson and the surrender of Vicksburg in 1863 effectively split the Confederacy in two along the Mississippi River. This division impeded transportation and logistics, making it difficult for the western states to supply the eastern Confederate armies, thus significantly affecting the overall war effort of the Confederacy.
