question # 18
how did georgia’s geography impact the blockade of georgia’s ports?
a the islands, inlets, and coves
allowed union blockade runners to
slip in and out.

b the islands, inlets, and coves
allowed confederate blockade
runners to slip in and out.

c the islands, inlets, and coves
prevented union blockade runners
from slipping in and out.

d the islands, inlets, and coves
prevented confederate blockade

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze Georgia's geography during the Civil War. The Confederacy controlled Georgia, and its islands, inlets, and coves provided hiding spots and routes for Confederate blockade runners to evade the Union blockade. Option A is incorrect as Union blockade runners weren't the ones slipping in (Union was the blockader). Option C is wrong because the geography didn't prevent Union runners (they were the blockaders, not the ones trying to slip in). Option D is incorrect as the geography helped, not prevented, Confederate runners. So B is correct.

Answer:

B. The islands, inlets, and coves allowed Confederate blockade runners to slip in and out.
