The correct response is:

The capture of Port Hudson, along with the surrender at Vicksburg, effectively gave the Union control of the Mississippi River. This split the Confederacy in two and severely hampered their ability to transport supplies and resources between the eastern and western parts of the Confederacy, making it more difficult for Confederate forces to sustain themselves in the war.
