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 split the Confederacy in two, severing the connection between the eastern and western Confederate states. This division hindered the movement of supplies and troops, significantly impacting the Confederacy's overall war effort.
