The North sought to control all of the strategic Southern ports. Certainly the top three were the ports of New Orleans, Mobile, Alabama and Charleston, South Carolina. Of these the former two were controlled as best they could as privateers had a knack of getting past even tightly controlled ports. Charleston Harbor was never fully controlled by the Union navy despite great efforts to do so.
