What if there was no blockade on the confederate coastline?

The Confederacy wouldn't have been hindered to carry on the export-import trade with Europe, which was essential for its war effort.

Furthermore the blockade fleets made possible the occupation of many coastal areas of the South, from which many joint operations Navy-Army had been developed against the Southern ports, further weakening their operational capacity and pinning down more and more Confederate forces to their defense, at the expense of the main fronts.

Why are the White cliffs of Dover white?

Because they are made from chalk (calcium carbonate) which is a white material.

The truth is that they are really not that white. If you looked closely you would find that some parts are absolutely full of plant growth and flint.

The effect that causes them to be "so white" also has to do with reflection of light.

The calcium carbonate form coccolith structures that can reflect light. The (south-)western orientation of the cliffs in combination with the rising sun generate the reflection and "light up" the cliffs.

How old is Old Harry Rocks?

The Old Harry Rocks are part of a chalk band that is around 65 million years old. But the rock band has only been submerged by the sea in the last few thousand years. The current rocks known as Old Harry and his wife are a few centuries old, with Harry's original "wife" having collapsed in 1509.

The 65Ma event was the KT Boundary, the end of the Cretaceous during which the chalk was formed. The subsequent uplift that formed the uplands from that Chalk was in the Tertiary, which followed the Cretaceous. The stacks themselves are no more than thousands of years old, as the Dorset coast retreated by marine erosion in the sea-level rise following the last Ice Age.

The Old Harry rocks are simply stacks left by erosion of the chalk cliff in Purbeck, which extends under the sea all the way to the Needles on the Isle of Wight.
