During the American Civil War, the goal of the Union naval blockade of Southern ports was intended to starve the South of key material resources and war-making supplies. The Confederacy sought to get around the blockade by sending "blockade-runners" through the Union pickets at night or in rough weather or at other propitious times. They also attempted (unsuccessfully, on the whole) to reorganize their industry as more self-sufficient.

Mostly the Union Naval blockade that was enforced on Southern ports. The South used ships called "blockade runners" to try to get past the blockade. These were mostly smaller, very streamlined, low-profile vessels which could move faster through the water than the larger standard navy ships of the Union Navy. This allowed them to outrun the Union ships. The blockade also prevented importing of goods from other countries
The Union blockade of major Southern ports was a method to cut off trade between the Confederacy and foreign countries. The South used torpedoes, fortifications around certain ports and privateers to circumvent Union warships blockading ports. It also had a small war fleet to attack Union ships.
After the defeat of the Union at the first Battle of Bull Run, statisticians tried to prove that the Union soldiers fought more effectively than the Confederates. This attempt fooled no one as the Confederates stayed on the battlefield while the Union forces made a rapid retreat. Also, the Union suffered more casualties than the South.

Yes, they were pinning their hopes on it. But Lincoln skilfully headed them off, by issuing the Emancipation Proclamation, turning the war into an official crusade against slavery, so free nations abroad could not aid the Confederates without looking pro-slavery themselves.
