The answer is " d. The Union won a decisive victory over the Confederacy. "

Here's an explanation of what happened:

The commander of the Confederates, A.S. Johnston was killed, and tactical command passed to the planner of the battle plan, Gal. Beauregard who evaluated that Grant (one of the generals of the union), would not be reinforced at night and that his own troops had already disorganized considerably along the advance. So he chose to resume the attacks only the next day.  It was a serious mistake, for at dusk Lew Wallace and Buell (who were generals of the union), arrived on the battlefield with 27,000 new soldiers. Grant summed up the day with a heavy offensive, sweeping the Confederates from the positions he'd missed the day before.

The Union victory was an important step towards acquiring dominance of the Mississippi Valley, a waterway of enormous strategic importance. Its seizure by the Union would divide the Confederacy into two parts, stripping the Confederate armies of important recruitment and agricultural production areas vital to the war effort.

union blockade

explanation:

the union blockade in the american civil war was a naval strategy by the united states to prevent the confederacy from trading.

the blockade was proclaimed by president abraham lincoln in april 1861, and required the monitoring of 3,500 miles (5,600 km) of atlantic and gulf coastline, including 12 major ports, notably new orleans and mobile. those blockade runners fast enough to evade the union navy could only carry a small fraction of the supplies needed. they were operated largely by british citizens, making use of neutral ports such as havana, nassau and bermuda. the union commissioned around 500 ships, which destroyed or captured about 1,500 blockade runners over the course of the war.

president jefferson protested this interference in american trade. he sent james monroe to london to negotiate a treaty. jefferson wanted britain to stop taking sailors from american ships, and to stop interfering in the trade of neutral nations. monroe tried many times to discuss such an agreement. but the british foreign minister was always too busy to see him.
