The South had a less-developed manufacturing and industrial base than the North, so it needed a source of goods such as metals, cloth, and armaments once it could no longer obtain these from Northern factories.
The South was hoping to export cotton in exchange for war supplies from other countries, or from other states. By reducing its ability to export cotton and import war materials, the North eventually crippled the Southern war effort.

True. One of the key military strategies of the North during the Civil War was the Anaconda Plan, which included a naval blockade of Southern ports. This blockade aimed to restrict the Confederacy's trade and supply lines, weakening their economy and ability to sustain the war effort. The blockade played a significant role in the Union's eventual victory.

The South, unlike the North, wasn't very industrialized and relied primarily on agriculture. As the war dragged on, they struggled to get supplies and other weaponry that they couldn't make themselves. They tried to import goods from Europe, and the Union used political measures and a blockade to keep the South weak. So in general, the North used the blockade to starve the South of valuable goods. Combined with the other Union strategy which included burning everything in the army's path (including valuable fields), the effect was quite devastating.
The Naval blockade of Southern ports.
One key reason for the Union's strategy of implementing a naval blockade of the South was to cripple the Confederate economy by cutting off access to international trade and essential supplies. This blockade aimed to prevent the South from exporting cotton, which was crucial for funding their war efforts, while simultaneously restricting their ability to import weapons, food, and other necessary resources. By diminishing the South's economic capabilities, the Union sought to weaken their resolve and ability to sustain the war.
Yes, it was one of the first strategies adopted by Lincoln.
