Answer 1

The way that the capture of Port Hudson and the surrender at Vicksburg harmed the Confederacy was C. The Confederacy could no longer get supplies from western states.

What was the impact of the Vicksburg surrender?

Under General Ulysses S. Grant, the Union Army engaged in the Siege of Vicksburg in 1863. This eventually ended with the Confederates in the City surrendering to the Union Army.

This was a massive blow to the Confederacy because it meant that the Union Army now controlled the Mississippi River which was very important to the Confederacy because it allowed for supplies to come from the Western States.

This was because states such as Texas were separated from the rest of the Confederacy by the Mississippi River and so if the Union controlled the river, then supplies could not move from Western states like Texas, to Eastern Confederate States like the Carolinas.
