What is napolean's blockade of british goods?

There was no physical blockade of British ports by the French under Napoleon. What occurred was a trade war with competing embargos, begun by Napoleon in a plan to weaken Britain economically. France did not have the ships to enforce the announced blockade. The so-called "Continental system" prohibited other nations from trading with England. The British responded by blockading French ports. Caught in the middle were countries like the US, who only wished to have commerce wherever it was welcome. When Russia finally withdrew from the system in 1812, Napoleon invaded, eventually taking Moscow but losing almost his entire army.

How did the anaconda plan blockade all eastern and southern ports in the confederate states?

The original Anaconda Plan did call for, in part, a blockade of Confederate ports on its east and southern coasts. The blockade's effectiveness is disputed by historians. Much of the South's in and out shipping was able to run past the blockade by cover of night. Also, as the coastlines were huge, there could not be a total 100% blockade. It did, however, stop many ships from sailing into Southern ports.
