Was the Unions naval blockade of the South successful?
During the first nine months of the US Civil War, the Union's blockade of Southern ports was not successful. In the year ending in 1861, nine out of ten ships eluded the Union's efforts. One reason was that the Northern navy simply needed more ships. Union shipyards were busy trying to fix that problem. Union shipyards had the great advantage of being geographically safe from harm. The Rebel army was just too far away.

What stopped the south from exporting goods durning the civil war?
Mostly the Union Naval blockade that was enforced on Southern ports. The South used ships called "blockade runners" to try to get past the blockade. These were mostly smaller, very streamlined, low-profile vessels which could move faster through the water than the larger standard navy ships of the Union Navy. This allowed them to outrun the Union ships. The blockade also prevented importing of goods from other countries
