What was the number of Union warships when the US Civil War ended?
When the US Civil War began the US had only a small fleet of warships. Washington DC decided that this number had to expand for two reasons. One was the need to attempt to blockade Confederate ports and the other need was to protect Union cargo ships from Confederate cruisers. Each goal was substantial. The Southern coastline stretching from the eastern Atlantic Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico was about 3,000 miles long. Besides the well known major Southern ports, the vast amount of coastline was filled with areas where blockade running ships could load and unload cargo for the South. There was also a need for the Union to build warships to command the vast river network within the South's territory. Cargo ships carrying much needed military and civilian supplies had to be also protected from Confederate war cruisers.

The Anaconda Plan worked and "suffocated" the Confederacy.

What were the military strategies in the US Civil War?
Northern strategies to end the South's rebellion were to: 1. gain control of the Mississippi river, this they did but did not decide the outcome of the war; 2. blockade the passage of trade goods, supplies, and arms to and from the Confederacy. Historians do not believe it affected the outcome of the war as the blockades were not effective due to many factors, such as sailing under the cover of darkness; 3. Capture the Southern capital of Richmond, this was done late in the war, when the war was already won , for all practical purposes; and 4. Use the strategy and tactics of "exhaustion" making the use of whatever armies the South had left to force a surrender.
What was the Souths best military advantage in its war with the Union?
The South's best advantage in the US Civil War was that the Confederacy covered such a large expanse of territory, the Union troops would never be able to track and confront all the Confederate armies in the South. There were other advantages as well. For example, to blockade the Southern ports would be a huge undertaking considering the several thousands of miles on the Atlantic Ocean and in the Gulf of Mexico. Another advantage was that the South had no intentions of crushing the Union or changing the US government. The South could fight a defensive war, which required fewer troops than the North would need to conduct offensive campaigns. Also, the enemy would have to fight the South on their own territory. The Southerners knew their terrain better than the Union did. The South would hope that the Union would simply give up an arduous task of stopping the South's rebellion.
