At the start of the Civil War, the Union Navy implemented a blockade of Southern ports as part of the Anaconda Plan, aiming to suffocate the Confederacy's economy and limit its access to supplies and trade. This blockade was intended to prevent the South from exporting cotton and importing essential goods, thereby weakening its war effort. The Union's naval superiority allowed them to enforce this blockade, making it difficult for the Confederacy to sustain its military and economic needs. Ultimately, the blockade played a crucial role in undermining the South's ability to fight the war.

By the beginning of October, Confederate General Joseph E. Johnston had built artillery stations on the south side of the Potomac River. For a time this blocked Washington DC's main water route. Nothing is ever 100% effective, so the US navy forbid Union shipping on the Potomac to only be allowed provided they had Navy escorts to protect them.
