The map shows the Union blockade of Florida coasts during the civil war. Which statement best explains why it was hard for the Union's blockade to succeed.

A. Florida has a long coastline, which enabled some ships to sneak past the blockade and supply the confederate.

B. Florida Has a short coastline, which enabled some ships to sneak past the blockade and supply the confederate

C. Florida's state militia fortified its ports, which enabled some ships to sneak past the blockade and supply the Confederate

D. Florida's state militia used diversions that enabled ships to sneak past the blockade and supply the confederate.

The correct answer is option A. Florida has a long coastline, which enabled some ships to sneak past the blockade and supply the confederate.

Explanation:

The Union blockade was a way to plan a blockade to the trade activity made by the Confederacy.

For this it was necessary to keep track of the activities of the Atlantic coast and the gulf.

The task of the sailors was really very difficult since Florida has a long coastline so they could not block all ships since the Union only had about 500 ships. Now imagine that they had to block the ships over an area of 2,170 km. This was what caused the most difficulties.

Given this information we can say that the correct answer is option A.
