Explain what changes were needed in order for the country to run smoothly

A country can be run smoothly if the government treat all their citizens equally.

Explanation:

According to me, the discrimination that people were facing in the previous time were needed to change in order to run the country smoothly.  Women had no right to vote and due to this they cannot be take part in the functioning of the government.

There was a class and caste difference between the people and on basis of that they were not allowed to go on some public places. Apart from this, the children  of the lower class people had no permission to go in the same schools or places where the higher class children studies.

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.
