Even a perfect Union blockade against the South would not have quickly ended the war. The Southern territories were so large and so self sufficient, that initially the blockade needed time to make an impact. As time passed and more ports were closed, a quick surrender was then impossible. This was because that the South had to win its war for independence or be devastated. On the other hand, the North, could "lose" and continue to prosper.
Yes - as part of the "Cuban Missile Crisis", JFK decided to order a "quarantine" of Cuba to prevent more missiles from being shipped there. It wasn't officially designated a "blockade" because, by international law, a "blockade" is considered an act of war. In reality, this was just a semantic ruse because what was done was effectively a blockade. The blockade officially began when it was announced by Kennedy in a speech on October 22, 1962. The U.S. Government announced the end of the blockade effective at 6:45 pm EST on November 20, 1962 after inspecting aircraft and ships that were leaving Cuba carrying the subject missiles and support equipment.

To strangle the Souths lifeline of trade with Europe. The Confederacy ould not be able to trade cotton for armament food, medicine and the like. The blockade was a part of the Anaconda Plan,where all sea ports and river ports were sealed. It was effective, but not completely. Only after the fall of Vicksburgh on the Mississippi River in July 1863 did the blockade really take its toll.
The Confederacy wouldn't have been hindered to carry on the export-import trade with Europe, which was essential for its war effort. The blockade, even if not unbreakable, was enough effective to limit and endanger the aforesaid trade. It allowed the Union to maintain a constant pressure upon its economy. Furthermore the blockade fleets made possible the occupation of many coastal areas of the South, from which many joint operations Navy-Army had been developed against the Southern ports, further weakening their operational capacity and pinning down more and more Confederate forces to their defense, at the expense of the main fronts.
