Yes. The continuing blockade was a big factor in Northern success, starving the Confederacy of war-supplies. NEW RESPONDENT. The Union Navy was able to increasingly limit the access of the Confederates ports to the blockade runners, reducing the flow of supplies for the South, what worsened more and more its ability to face its military needs. But another aspect of the maritime war must be taken into consideration, that of the Confederates cruisers, whose action in the high seas against the Union merchant fleet, led to the virtual disappearance of the Union Flag from the international trading, whose place was soon taken by the British merchant marine and never more regained.

Being outnumbered was a constant factor for the Confederates,at almost every battle and not unique to this battle. At Fredericksburg the Union disadvantages were first logistical in nature. The Union army had to construct a pontoon bridge(under fire from the Confederates) to cross the Rappahannock River just to be able to launch attacks. The Confederate Army was very well prepared and well placed with regard to the infantry and the artillery batteries.This ground was mostly higher(Marye's Heights) than that closer to the river,so the Union troops were very exposed when they got across the river. By contrast,the Confederates were protected by the ground they held and by their being"dug-in." The Union artillery could not get close enough to have maximum effect against the Southern army. In a "nutshell" the battle came down to the advantage of having the strong Defensive position,to just wait for the Union attacks and mow-down the soldiers. Gen.Burnside ordered repeated attacks against this very strong position without success. The Generals under his command eventually refused to carry-out the order for more such attacks.

Not immediately. But it was the biggest factor in final Union victory, because it had the effect of keeping Britain and France from sending military aid to the Confederates. (It would have made them look pro-slavery.)
