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.
