Apologies for the confusion. My previous response was incorrect. The Union went to extensive efforts to blockade Florida's ports and harbors primarily because the Confederacy's naval forces were a threat to the north. The Union wanted to prevent the Confederacy from receiving supplies and reinforcements through Florida's ports and harbors, as this could prolong the war and hinder the Union's progress.
