The Northern blockade of Southern ports during the American Civil War aimed to cripple the Confederacy’s economy by restricting its trade and access to essential supplies, including weapons, food, and other goods. Implemented by the Union Navy, the blockade sought to prevent the export of cotton and the import of military supplies, thereby weakening the Southern war effort.
