The the beginning of the Civil War, President Lincoln ordered the U.S. Navy to place a blockade along almost 3,500 miles of Atlantic Coastline. This was so the Union could stop them from importing products in and from exporting their own good out of the country. Though many smaller Confederate shops were able to get out of the ports, they only had a little bit of goods, and the South needed much more to support their economy.
The main idea is about different devices or platforms either knowingly or unknowingly forcing the identity that u are know by in everyday life on u all the time despite the fact that, the identity of a person might differ from place to place and mental state to mental state and some people see and feel this and feel limited by it.
