What if there were no blockade of the Confederate Coastline?
The South had two big cash crops. Cotton and Tobacco. If there had not been a blockade they would have been able to export their crops and import weapons as needed to fight the war. The war would have gone on for years longer and may have resulted in a draw, which would have been a win for the South.One of the biggest efforts the South made was to bust the blockade. The CSS Virginia (sometimes called the Merrimack by mistake) was one of a number of iron clad ships the South made to sink the Union ships. The CSS Hunley was also the first successful submarine, sinking a Union ship. They knew the blockade was a major factor against them.

What was the name of the naval battle where iron-clad ships were used?
This answer does not need a dingo bot veto.On March 9, 1862 the first naval battle between two ironclad warships was part of the Battle of Hampton Roads. The South's ironclad was the resurrected USS Merrimack that had been burned and abandoned when the Union had vacated Norfolk. They failed to fully destroy the ship and the Confederacy converted it to an ironclad named the CSS Virginia. The Union had built an advanced ironclad called the USS Monitor in New York. It was the invention of John Ericsson and was the first warship with a canon mounted on a revolving turret, much like a modern day tank.The naval battle that ensued was the first confrontation in war of two ironclads against each other. It was part of the Battle of Hampton Roads. This bay was important for the benefit of the Union's Peninsula Campaign to attack Richmond from the east. Union ships were gathering there to also help with the blockade attempts to cut the South off from sea trading.The two ships fought each other for 4 hours to a draw. They never fought again as the South destroyed the CSS Virginia when they vacated Norfolk. The Monitor fell victim to a hurricane at sea and sunk.
