Most Southern states, starting with Mississippi, tried many ways to block and restrict the voting rights of African American voters. Some of these ways included the requirement of literacy testing, poll taxes and the white primary.
To prevent the South from importing the goods they needed.
Blockades on Southern ports were set up in the Anaconda Plan. This plan was to use naval vessels to block all ports within the Confederates States. If they could not get their cotton out to market then they could not bring in any supplies.
The KKK clane didnt think they had the rights to vote so they killed them and they didnt let them vote.
Blocking the Confederate coast was the first part of the Unions 'Anaconda Plan', which also involved the invasion from the North and the taking/controlling of the Mississippi River. The plan was called the Anaconda Plan because it "strangled" the Southern Economy and Military. The North took the Mississippi to cut the Southwestern States of the Confederacy off from the rest of the Confederate States (Texas and the Oklahoma/New Mexico Territories), and to gain control of the Southerners 2nd most important port, New Orleans. The invasion from the North was to exhaust the Southern Armies (of-course). And Blockading the South was to prevent the trade of cotton (the staple product in the South) and other goods, crippling the Southern economy. Because of the blockade the South had almost no food and their currency was worth next to nothing.
