How did people react when the Union Army created a blockade that caused food shortages?

They remained calm during the food shortages caused by the blockade because Louisiana had so many home grown crops.

They hoarded food and businesses raised prices to take advantage of scarce goods.

They grew small gardens to feed their families and accepted rationing as a way to be sure everyone was fed.

They collected food at distribution centers around the state so that everyone had enough food to eat.
