The main purpose of the Union blockade of southern cities, such as Charleston, during the Civil War was to restrict the Confederacy's access to essential supplies, goods, and trade routes. By cutting off ports and limiting the import of weaponry, food, and other materials, the blockade aimed to weaken the Southern economy and military capabilities. This strategy was part of the Union's Anaconda Plan, designed to suffocate the Confederacy and hasten its defeat. Ultimately, the blockade contributed significantly to the South's economic struggles and loss of resources throughout the war.
