Answer 1

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

The surrender at Vicksburg on July 4, 1863, effectively split the Confederacy in two, severing supply lines from the western states to the eastern states and giving the Union control of the Mississippi River, which was vital for transportation and logistics.
