The evasion of the naval blockade during the Civil War was a set of operations designed to avoid the situation of blockade that the unionist side imposed on the Confederate side during the American Civil War, which stretched over 5,600 kilometers (3,500 miles) , from the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico, and to the Mississippi River. The evasion was carried out by means of steamships, many of them specially built to reach a high speed for the time, that had to sail normally at night to not be detected. If they were sighted, the ships (called blockade runners) tried to maneuver or simply surpass any Union ship that was acting as a blocking patrol. The boats used for this task were generally privately owned, often operating with a privateering license issued by the Confederate States of America.

Answer: ( A ) It became a world power.
Explanation:
The global equilibrium, which had allowed the United States to grow and prosper in virtual isolation since 1815 was gone forever as the result of a short but shattering war. In 1898, U.S. domestic support for the independence of Cuba enmeshed the United States in a struggle with Spain over the fate of the island nation. The decision to aid the Cuban resistance was a major departure from the traditional American practice of liberal nationalism, and the results of that decision had far-reaching consequences. The 1898 Treaty of Paris ending the war gave Cuba its independence and also ceded important Spanish possessions to the United States—notably Puerto Rico, the Philippines, and the small island of Guam. The United States was suddenly a colonial power with overseas dependencies.
This assumption of colonial responsibilities reflected not only the temporary enthusiasms of 1898 but also marked a profound change in the diplomatic posture of the United States. The foreign policies of the early 19th century had less relevance at the dawn of the 20th century because the nation had changed. The United States had almost all the attributes of a great power—it stood ahead or nearly ahead of almost all other countries in terms of population, geographic size and location on two oceans, economic resources, and military potential.
