Best Answer

Beginning with the Union's defeat in the First Battle of Bull Run, it became clear that a comprehensive set of strategies needed to be used in order to end the Southern rebellion. Of course the elements of Winfield Scott's Anaconda Plan were recognized as very valuable, they were so based on the Union's decision to use simultaneous advances to defeat the Confederacy.It was perceived by the Union generals that the vast Southern interior lent itself perfectly to Rebels ability to make good use of their interior lines. This was alluded to earlier in this answer. The best way to reduce the value of interior lines was to hamper their use by attacking the South simultaneously wherever that was possible.

The strategy can be said to have been successful as in four years the South surrendered, however, the Union was not always successful when allying their basic form of ending the rebellion.
