The Union Blockade

Blockade of Union As Fort Sumter collapsed on April 13, 1861, the United States entered the most expensive and difficult war that he had ever experienced. The original military strategy of the alliance was designed by Winfield Scott's elderly and the naval strategy has a more important role than can quickly and deadly blow, but be able to defeat the coalition at a longer factory It can be fulfilled. Battle In his Anaconda plan he proposed a blockade of the Federal Port to isolate the Union and to suppress its economy and supply lines.

April 1: Blockade in Berlin: The Soviet Union blocked all road, river and rail traffic to West Berlin under western rule and withdrew Western countries from Berlin. The West began dealing with the blockade of Berlin by air cargo and blockade at East Berlin on June 21. The Soviet blockade ended in 321 days. April: NSC 68 will reevaluate the strategic position of the US National Security Council. The definition of the Cold War has shifted from politics to the military, assuming the "design of world domination" of the Soviet Union. When Russia threatens 'breakup of aggression', NSC 68 calls for the establishment of nuclear weapons and expands its ability to fight normal warfare. We also seek to reduce social welfare programs and other services not related to military needs, as well as tougher internal security programs.

During the American Civil War, the railroad was strategic and the alliance used a larger system more effectively. Indeed, all the factories and facilities that supply railways and equipment are in the north and the blockade of the alliance prevents the South from acquiring new equipment and spare parts. A war took place in the south and attackers (and sometimes allies) of the allies systematically destroyed bridges and railroad cars (and sometimes curved railroads) to prevent enemy logistics. In the south, most of the railroads in 1860 were problems of areas connecting the cotton area closest to the waterways. Most of the means of transportation are by boat, not railway, long distance travel was difficult after the Union blocked the port in 1861 and occupied major rivers in 1862. As cotton crops were forced to lose the railway company's main source of income through European intervention, the occurrence of war had an annoying effect on the economic fate of the railroad company.

In April 1861, Lincoln announced that the Union army blocked all ports in the south; commercial ships were not subject to insurance and normal traffic was over. South banned cotton exports in 1861 before the blockade became effective; when they understood the mistake it was too late. Since less than 10% of cotton is exported from the south, the "King of Cotton" died. The Federal Navy temporarily challenged the advantage of the alliance Navy by constructing an armored warship called CSS Virginia, but the Alliance constructed a unique USS monitor to offset the Confederate Maritime threat accordingly. The closure closed the ten ports of the Confederates and the railroad was able to move almost entirely, especially New Orleans, Mobile, Charleston. By June 1861, warships were moored at major ports in the south, and nearly 300 vessels were operated one year later. Important import shortage, coastal trade is basically over
