The blockade was a crucial aspect of the Union's military strategy, significantly impacting the South's resources and morale throughout the conflict.
Ships from inland ports can reach the ocean through interconnected waterways, such as rivers, canals, and locks. Once they reach the ocean, they can sail to ports around the world using established international shipping routes. Navigation technology and infrastructure make it possible for ships to travel long distances across oceans.
These ports lie on the Indian Ocean.

Virtually frictionless transport of heavy goods from one town to another. Some canals even connected to ports, so that good could be transferred to ocean going vessels and trade further. Barges were used on canals, towed by horse, then powered by steam and diesel engines. They are mostly superceeded by road transport now, but have been revived for pleasure craft.
