Question

1. why was the south vulnerable to a blockade by the north?○ the north had a well-organized navy, while the south had no navy and few good ports.○ the north had a large manufacturing base to produce weapons, while the south was mostly agrarian.○ the north had a larger railroad system for moving troops and supplies than the south.○ the north had a much larger population than the south.

Explanation:

The South relied heavily on trade (especially cotton exports) to fund its war effort and obtain goods it could not produce. The North's strong navy could restrict the South's access to international trade, and the South lacked a significant navy to counter this, plus its limited number of functional ports made it easy for the North to target and block them. The other options relate to land-based advantages, not vulnerability to a naval blockade.

Answer:

The North had a well-organized navy, while the South had no navy and few good ports.
