Britain imposed a naval blockade on France in 1802 primarily to restrict French trade and military supplies, particularly as tensions between the two nations were escalating. The blockade aimed to weaken France economically and prevent the resurgence of French power following the Revolutionary Wars. Additionally, Britain sought to protect its own maritime interests and maintain its naval supremacy in Europe. The blockade was part of a broader strategy to counter the threat posed by Napoleon Bonaparte's expansionist ambitions.
The blockade of British ports was part of the Continental System put in place by Napoleon in retaliation for the British naval blockade of the coastlines in France. The result of the blockade of British ports was not severe or long-lasting. It hurt Britain to a small degree, but not as much as Napoleon hoped.

The naval blockade prevented the Confederacy from receiving supplies from Britain(mostly). It also prevented goods from shipping out so the money which would otherwise be made by this commerce was reduced. In an effort to defeat the blockade "Blockade Runners"were used. These were low-profile,fast ships that could sometimes get past the larger Union Navy ships and make it to port.
