The civil war blockade was when the Navy covered the Southern's coast so that no one could get through. The South could not trade and they could not get supplise or food or even money.
It deprived them of the imports they needed, having no manufacturing capacity of their own. That is why the blockade-runners like Rhett Butler became such important and glamorous figures.

They hired privateers as blockade runners. Unfortunately, any ship quick enough to evade the blockade could not carry much cargo.
Abraham Lincoln created a naval blockade to prevent the south from being able to take part in trading activities. This was an attempt by the president to bring about a peaceful end to the Civil War. The south challenged the blockade by building torpedo boats to attack the naval ships involved in the blockade.
The South surrendered.

Because the South had no manufacturing industry, so it needed foreign imports. But it also had no Navy to combat the Union blockade.

The South challenged the Union blockade of its ports primarily through the use of blockade runners, which were fast, agile ships designed to evade Union ships. These vessels would often travel along the coastline at night or in poor weather to slip past the blockading forces and deliver crucial supplies, such as food, munitions, and luxury goods from foreign ports. Additionally, the Confederacy employed various tactics, such as disguising ships and using smaller, less detectable vessels, to facilitate smuggling operations. Despite these efforts, the blockade significantly hindered the South's ability to trade and resupply throughout the Civil War.

southern blockade-runners- fast ships that outran the federal ships- often slipped through the blockade.
