The overall and goal of the Confederacy during the US Civil War was to win enough battles that would make the North cease in its efforts to end the Southern rebellion. The prevailing idea was that if the Union lost a large number of troops, there would be a natural tendency to cease its offensive operations against the Rebels.
The Union believed that by blockading important Southern ports it would hamper the war efforts of the Confederacy. It did cause the South serious problems, however, based on various modern day views of Civil War by historians, the South had the chance to reach its goal of independence despite the blockades, which could not be as tight as to stop the flow of trade.
If you're asking about other countries... nobody.The Union regarded the matter as a purely internal affair and did not seek outside assistance. All they really wanted was for other countries not to intervene on behalf of the Confederacy, and for the most part they got that, so in a sense it might be possible to say that Britain and France (the most likely allies of the Confederacy) "helped" the north by not helping the south.The Confederacy had hoped to forge an alliance with Britain and France. While those countries were somewhat sympathetic and British ships, at least, made some efforts to circumvent the Union's blockade of southern ports, ultimately both countries realized that it was unlikely that the Confederacy would survive, and the political costs of having supported it would be high.
President Lincoln followed one of the suggestions of General in Chief Winfield Scott concerning one of the measures to end the Southern rebellion. In 1861, Lincoln ordered the US navy to begin blockading Southern seaports in order to damage the Southern trade efforts with other nations, especially England and France. Major ports were the main targets, for example the Charleston, South Carolina harbor.
