To best explain the goal of blockades used by the Union and the Confederacy during the American Civil War, the most appropriate choice would be:
**Union: to disrupt the South’s economy and weaken the Confederacy’s military by cutting off vital supplies.**
**Confederacy: to prevent the Union from exporting cotton and other goods to foreign countries.**
This option captures the primary strategic intentions behind the blockades. The Union aimed to cripple the Confederate economy and military by limiting its access to essential supplies, while the Confederacy sought to maintain its trade routes and economic viability, particularly to leverage cotton exports in hopes of gaining foreign recognition and support.
