Answer 1

The correct answer is: The Union navy had to patrol thousands of miles of coastline.

Maintaining a blockade was challenging for the Union due to the vast extent of the coastline they needed to cover, which made it difficult to effectively monitor and enforce the blockade against the numerous small vessels that the Confederacy could use to evade detection.
