What significance did the union navy play in the strategy?
the union used there to block off shipping to the south because yes the south was mostly farming it was MOSTLY cotton the south made several attempts to break the blockade it failed but it did result in the first submarine the USS Henley which sunk only one ship they even built an iron clad ship i forgot the name this ship sunk hundreds of ships because its armor was basically impenetrable the union sent distress signals like the ones in army movies cut off right in the middle of it like cannon ball barely missed........................................and the ships triangular angle caused cannon balls to bounce off it the union built there own iron clad not triangular shaped but it did have the first rotatable torrent meaning if there retreating they can still fire back the battle of the iron clads was waged after days of seemingly no progress they both retreated no winner but internal studies show there would have been one ha it gone on a little longer.
How did the South challenge the blockage?
if you are reffering to the civil war;and blockage being a blockade; then i have an answer. there was a battle between to ironclads (iron ships); The merrimac (southern ship; also called the Virginia) & the monitor (northern ship). neither ship could destroy each other because gun shot and cannon just bounced off of the iron. though there was no real win of the battle; because no one won; the south never tried to outrun the blockades again- concluding a Northern Victory. also **ships that got out of blockades were called blockade runners.
Who won the battle of iron clads?
The jury is still out on who won the battle of Ironclad and continues to be a topic for debate. The battle was very important to both the north and south but since neither ship put the other out of battle the true results are inconclusive. Though the action was a tactical stalemate, since the Union blockade was not broken; so, the strategic victory must go to the North.
