The Union naval blockade seriously hampered the Confederate war effort
The Americans had more reason to fight. At stake were not only lives but also their property and dreams of liberty.
Until 1864 the Confederacy placed no restrictions on privateers that were running through the Union blockades. It finally took steps to regulate the privateers by restricting their cargo space. The new laws required that one half of the cargo space in privateers be reserved for Confederate government supplies. The other 50% could be used for any purpose. Being that the case, the other half of cargo space was devoted to the very profitable cargoes of luxury items such as perfumes.
