At the beginning of the US Civil War, the US Navy created two blockading squadrons to hamper Rebel ports. One squadron was assigned for the Atlantic East coast and other one to cover the Southern Gulf coast. When the Blockade Board was formed, it divided the two squadrons into four squadrons. The Board believed this reconstruction of naval responsibilities would serve to better serve the Union's blockading policy.
