I know I will get killed for this, but I read in a book a while back that early in the war the Union, due to a superior navy, ahd the chance to capture a number of coastal Confederate cities. Assuming they had done so, would the Union have been able to launch several campaigns from these locations? How do you think it would have turned out?

If they had been able to take and hold places like Charleston, Savannah, Norfolk, etc., I don't think the CSA would have been in a great position to resist at the outset. Of course, this depends on how effective the Union army can be, given distance from the Union proper.
