TO blockade southern ports
Because the Union hoped that by creating a blockade on the ports, the South would be unable to trade, and their economy would be ruined.
The blockade was more effective toward the end of the war.
The blockade of British ports was part of the Continental System put in place by Napoleon in retaliation for the British naval blockade of the coastlines in France. The result of the blockade of British ports was not severe or long-lasting. It hurt Britain to a small degree, but not as much as Napoleon hoped.
The Continental System banned British goods and ships from all European Ports.
It was a part of the Continental System.
the turtle was used for bombing the blockade that the British had formed in front of one of the ports.

The blockade of the War of 1812 was an attempt by the British to cut off American trade with Europe. The British Navy established a naval blockade along the east coast of the United States, preventing American merchant ships from reaching European ports. This blockade led to economic hardship and was one of the causes of the war.
The overall naval strategy of the Union in the US Civil War was to blockade Confederate ports. This would prevent supplies needed to fight the war from entering Southern ports. The blockade also tried to prevent ships laden with cotton bales to reach foreign destinations such as England. The British textile industry had been accustomed to receiving most of their cotton from the Southern US states. The Union's blockade Board coordinated these efforts with good results.
By organising a system of blockade-runners. (See 'Gone with the Wind'.)
The original Anaconda Plan did call for, in part, a blockade of Confederate ports on its east and southern coasts. The blockade's effectiveness is disputed by historians. Much of the South's in and out shipping was able to run past the blockade by cover of night. Also, as the coastlines were huge, there could not be a total 100% blockade. It did, however, stop many ships from sailing into Southern ports.
There was no physical blockade of British ports by the French under Napoleon. What occurred was a trade war with competing embargos, begun by Napoleon in a plan to weaken Britain economically. France did not have the ships to enforce the announced blockade. The so-called "Continental system" prohibited other nations from trading with England. The British responded by blockading French ports. Caught in the middle were countries like the US, who only wished to have commerce wherever it was welcome. When Russia finally withdrew from the system in 1812, Napoleon invaded, eventually taking Moscow but losing almost his entire army.
