The correct response is: The Confederacy could no longer get supplies from states on one side of the Mississippi River to the other.
The capture of Port Hudson and the surrender at Vicksburg in July 1863 effectively split the Confederacy in two along the Mississippi River, which disrupted supply lines and communication between the eastern and western Confederate states. This division greatly hindered the Confederacy's ability to coordinate military efforts and sustain its war efforts.
