Why did the north want to blockade the south?

The North sought to blockade the South during the Civil War to weaken its economy and limit its ability to import weapons and supplies. By cutting off trade routes, the Union aimed to cripple the Southern economy, which heavily relied on exports like cotton. The blockade was part of the Anaconda Plan, designed to suffocate the Confederacy and force a surrender through economic pressure. Ultimately, this strategy was intended to hasten the end of the war by diminishing the South's resources and morale.


Why did the north favor allowing California to enter the union as a free state?

The North favored California's admission as a free state primarily because it would help maintain a balance of power in Congress against the pro-slavery South. By adding California as a free state, the North sought to limit the expansion of slavery into new territories, reinforcing the principle of free labor. Additionally, California's rapid population growth and economic potential as a free state could bolster the Northern economy and political influence. Overall, this move was seen as crucial in the ongoing struggle between free and slave states during the pre-Civil War era.

How did the US federal government limit individual rights during the US Civil War?

There was civil unrest in the North during the US Civil War. Many people were considered to be Southern sympathizers or people simply against the war itself. At times the Lincoln administration had to, in their minds, declare civil emergencies and suspend the writ of habeas corpus. This was done extensively in Maryland, a border slave state, and in many other US locations. By suspending the "writ" people were jailed and not tried. Their property was sometimes confiscated.
