Union Blockade of GA's Coast

The blockade of Georgia's coast was part of The Anaconda Plan. The north did this to blocking the line of supplies to the south. This would eventually be the main reason why the north would win the war. The blockade of Georgia meant that the whole entire coast of Georgia was tightly blocked. At the beginning Confederate General Lee did not put up a fight so he could use his troops in other needed areas. The blockade of the coast was a major problem for the south. People living in the south depended on the imports and exports to get their basic needs. Without the major ports the south had no way of getting food and weapons for the war.
