The South had two big cash crops. Cotton and Tobacco. If there had not been a blockade they would have been able to export their crops and import weapons as needed to fight the war. The war would have gone on for years longer and may have resulted in a draw, which would have been a win for the South.

One of the biggest efforts the South made was to bust the blockade. The CSS Virginia (sometimes called the Merrimack by mistake) was one of a number of iron clad ships the South made to sink the Union ships. The CSS Hunley was also the first successful submarine, sinking a Union ship. They knew the blockade was a major factor against them.

The blockade essentially stopped the South's very lucrative overseas trade. The sale of cotton was a huge source of revenue to the South. Further it shut down the importation of arms, ammunition and other supplies sorely needed by the Southern effort.
