Blockading the Confederate coastline and navigable entrances.
True
The Confederate coastline was between 3,000 miles long. the Union coastline was about 2,600 miles long. The waterways were important for sending and receiving supplies.
During the US Civil War, the US Navy was entrusted with the blockading of significant Confederate ports. It was a difficult and tedious task as the Rebel coastline covered the Atlantic coast and all ports in the Gulf of Mexico, including a long coastline in Texas. It was difficult in that privateers, under the cover of darkness could slip past navy ships. And, ship to ship communications were limited by eyesight. Signal flags of a US navy ship had a limited amount of miles of visibility. Added to the immense coastline of the South was the hazard of Southern "torpedoes". These were the equivalent of sea or river mines that would explode on contact or in river situations, detonated by wire from a hidden place along the riverbank.Most historians will not say that the outcome of the war depended on Union blockades. Much trade still traveled in and out of Southern ports.As a good example of this, the fortress city of Vicksburg, Mississippi had over 66,000 rifles, mostly foreign made that were captured when US Grant took over Vicksburg in 1863.
Mainly it was the Union blockading important cargo routs.
The Civil War was a war between the Confederate States of America and the Union. So, the Confederate states were important because they were one of the two warring countries.
The Union victory at Vicksburg gave the Union complete control over the Mississippi River. The Mississippi was an important means of transportation. Vicksburg was one the few remaining cities under Confederate control. General Grant led the victory at Vicksburg for the North. The victory at Vicksburg also helped complete the Anaconda Plan. The Anaconda plan was the North's plan for winning the Civil War and was: 1)blockading Southern Sea Ports 2)Controlling the Mississippi 3)And capturing Richmond, VA (Richmond was the capital of the Confederate States of America)
