In 1861 and 1862, the Union attempted via its blockade strategy, to economically strangle the Southern rebellion. There were no tangible results of any magnitude. Part of the reason was that the Union's high military command had been focused of capturing Richmond, protecting Washington DC and fending off the Maryland raid and the Battle of Antietam. By the beginning of 1863, it was clear that the Union's blockade could only produce marginal results. Unless, in 1863, the Confederate army could be defeated in the field of battle, Souther supply sources provided food and the embargo still allowed for the import of rifles as one example.
