To starve the South, before attacking its weakened forces.
The South (confederacy)'s goal at the start of the civil war was actually not much, other than to secede from the United States. They didn't technically want to start a war, but the North (union) decided that they didn't want the South seceding and therefore declared "war". The south wanted to secede because the Union, aka the United States before the war, had passed anti-slavery laws and the South wanted to keep them.
The Confederacy's first goal during the Civil War was to gain independence from the northern states. The second goal was to establish a government that was free from what they deemed as northern oppression, and would not attempt to end slavery.
To prevent the south from seceding from the north.
They wanted to try to reunite with the South while still abolishing slavery.
