This is known as the Anaconda Plan.

This military strategy, developed by Union General Winfield Scott, was meant to starve the Confederacy out of their resources. Essentially, Scott felt that if the Confederacy could not trade for goods with other countries they would not be able to survive. This is due to the Confederacy's reliance on cotton as their main cash crop.

This strategy helps to explain why the US wanted to blockade trade with other countries as well as why the Union wanted to control the Mississippi River, as they knew control of this waterway could negatively impact the Confederacy's ability to transport/obtain resources.

Why did spain agree to give Florida to the us
Cloud [144]
At the time in which the agreement was made for Spain to secede, the US was and still is a world power. Spain was not strong enough to negotiate and to refuse would be pointless because it could have easily be taken by brute force.
