What wre the blockade runners?
Blockade runners were ships that attempted to evade naval blockades during conflicts, particularly the American Civil War. Their primary role was to transport goods, supplies, and sometimes troops between blockaded ports and other locations, often using speed and stealth to evade capture. These vessels played a crucial role in supplying the Confederate states, as they sought to circumvent the Union blockade that aimed to restrict trade and resources. The success of blockade runners varied, but they significantly impacted the logistics and economics of the war effort.
Why did blockade running end?
Blockade running ended primarily due to the increased effectiveness of naval blockades and advancements in technology, such as faster and more powerful warships that could better patrol and intercept blockade runners. Additionally, military strategies evolved to focus on cutting off supplies to enemy forces, making it increasingly difficult for blockade runners to operate successfully. The conclusion of major conflicts, like the American Civil War, also diminished the need for blockade running as the circumstances that necessitated it changed.
