The Union had a very intelligent battle plan that would cut off the Confederate army; they decided to blockade Georgia's coast. This meant cutting off supplies coming through Savannah, which was a major port. The south still managed to import and export a limited amount of supplies with the help of smaller ships. This gave a major advantage to the Union army and was a crucial step in winning the war for the north.
