Quote:
In order to ensure the de facto closing of the ports, the Union had to assert control over the various waterways and coastlines of the Confederacy.

Paraphrase:
To ensure the Confederates shuts down Port Royal, the Union had to take over and claim Port Royal.

My Ideas:
this information can provide with how the union came up with the idea of closing the ports at Port Royal.

The November 7 battle was over in a matter of hours. The Confederate forts, one on each side of the wide entry to Port Royal Sound, didn’t stand a
chance against cannon fire from the Union warships that steamed past them.

Port Royal harbor was defended by two forts, Walker and Beauregard, the former on Hilton Head island, and the latter on Bay point opposite.

Paraphrase:
Port Royal was defended by 2 forts under the names of Walker and Beauregard on Hilton Head Island.
