Answer 1

The correct response is: The Confederacy could no longer get supplies from its western states.

The capture of Port Hudson and the surrender at Vicksburg effectively gave the Union control of the Mississippi River, which divided the Confederacy and significantly disrupted the supply lines between the eastern and western Confederate states. This separation hindered the Confederacy's ability to transport goods and resources across its territory.
