Question

The Union blockade during the Civil War

A) led to an alliance between the Confederacy and Great Britain.
B) caused inflation and shortages in the South, especially for manufactured goods.
C) really had no effect on the South, since they were already agriculturally self-sufficient.
D) hurt the North most since they relied heavily on Southern cotton and agriculture for its own manufacturing base.

Answer 1

B) Caused inflation and shortages in the south, especially for manufactured goods.

The union blockade blocked off all ports near the south leading outwards, so the south couldn't trade with anyone, including the north, leading to an inflation of goods.
