    C is the correct answer.

    Defeating the Union blockade and keeping the Southern ports open was essential for the traitorous Rebel government as it allowed them to continue to sell cotton to Europe in exchange for supplies and weapons. The Union's blockade aimed to stop the exchange of cotton for supplies and weapons.
