Union Blockade of Georgia's Coast
The Union used many clever tricks to win the Civil War. They thought of a plan to hurt the Confederate army. The Union blockaded Georgia's coast, cutting off supplies coming through Savannah, a major port for the south. Now the South was limited to supplies and they could not export cotton to any other countries. This gave the Union a huge advantage because now their army was stronger and they had a stronger economy. Having enough supplies and weapons is very necessary to winning a war.
