Yes, protecting port cities like Savannah was one of the reasons blockade runners were used during the Civil War. The Union Navy had established a blockade along the Southern coastline in an attempt to cut off supplies and resources from reaching the Confederate states. Blockade runners were used to bypass this blockade and bring much-needed supplies, including weapons, ammunition, clothing, and food, to the Confederacy.
