The Union believed that by blockading important Southern ports it would hamper the war efforts of the Confederacy. It did cause the South serious problems, however, based on various modern day views of Civil War by historians, the South had the chance to reach its goal of independence despite the blockades, which could not be as tight as to stop the flow of trade.
