It was an obvious move, proposed by the first General-in-Chief with Lincoln's agreement, and confirmed by all Generals and politicians. It was the best way to utilise the Union's naval superiority, and prevent the South from exporting its plentiful cotton in exchange for war supplies.
It was highly successful, and its only drawback was the sheer boredom of blockade duty, though many inftantrymen would gladly have swapped their excitement for those quiet days on deck.
