TO blockade southern ports
At the start of the war, the Union planned to blockade the southern ports, control the Mississippi River, and capture Richmond, Virginia.
By organising a system of blockade-runners. (See 'Gone with the Wind'.)
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.
So the union can't get through
The Annaconda Plan was designd to establish a Naval Blockade of the Southern ports and harbors and to prevent exports through Texas.
