Based on Confederate war records and any regulations concerning the conduct of privateers, the Confederacy did not or could not set a priority on dealing with the Union's blockade. The South's secretary of the navy, Stephen Mallory, however, had created the semblance of a strategy that involved using mines in ports and rivers to sink or damage Union blockaders. He also sought to have cruisers like the CSS Alabama and CSS Florida attack Union cargo ships, forcing the US navy to use some of its fleet to add more protection for its cargo.
