The naval fleet did two main things in the Civil War. The first was to create a blockade so that the South was strangled from supplies from England and France. Also, it didn't allow the South to raise much of a navy and to ship cotton out. The second strategy was to cut the CSA in half via the Mississppi River. The charge up the Mississippi River was led by Union Admiral David G. Farragut. This was to cut the CSA from inside and not allow supplies to reach the western rebellious states.
During the American Civil War, the Northern strategy consisted of three main parts. The first was to defend the capitol (Washington, D.C.) while threatening the Southern capitol (Richmond, Virginia). The second was to split the South in two along the Mississippi River. The third was to blockade Southern ports through a tight naval cordon, so as to starve the South of war-making supplies and other needed imports.
