Answer: A. Floria has a long coastline, which enabled some ships to sneak past the blockade and supply the confederate.
Explanation:
Soon after the Civil War broke out, General Winfield Scott under his “Anaconda Plan" engaged in a widespread blockade of Confederate Ports to crash their economy and bring about an end to the war faster.
Even though Florida had the lowest population of the Confederate States, the Union recognised that their long coastline would present a logistical problem and blockaded as many ports as they could.
However, because of the long coastline, there were many bays and inlets and thus avenues in that could not be guarded effectively which led to the rise of BLOCKADE RUNNERS who were usually British Citizen owned ships supplying the Confederates from the Bahamas and the Virgin Islands.

The North began losing interest in reconstruction in the South because the programs they were trying to use were not helping African-Americans as much as they hoped.
Northern politicians came up with the idea of the Freedmen's Bureau. This federal program would help newly freed slaves with housing, obtaining food, and other resources. Even with this help, African-Americans still struggled as Southern politicians continued to find legal loopholes to stop them from voting and obtaining equality. Along with this, the rising power of the Ku Klux Klan also made the job of reconstructing the South difficult as this group terrorized African-American citizens.
