The Anaconda Plan, which was to separate the Confederate troops from the Mississippi westward and on the east. It was to cripple the economy of the south, and make sure there was no way for the Confederate troops to fight back.

There are important comments concerning the number of strategies used by the Union during the US Civil War. Certainly, one of the first acts had been put forth by US General Scott before the war began. His Anaconda Plan was placed in partial use. That meant that an attempt to blockade all key Southern ports began shortly after Fort Sumter. Scott's plan was put forth before Richmond, Virginia became the capital of the Confederacy. The blockade was porous. Even now historians question whether it was a key element in the South's defeat.Regarding Richmond, here Lincoln and his generals agreed that Richmond was in a military sense, an important center of gravity. What this inferred was that by capturing Richmond, it would a blow to the South's confidence and pride.
Despite all efforts, Richmond remained in Confederate hands until very late in the war.
Control of the Mississippi River was another goal of the Union. When Vicksburg fell after a 6 week siege, and New Orleans already captured, this control helped the Union greatly.
There are more detailed operational strategies that called for two or three pronged attacks on Confederate strongholds, and of course more then one failed attempt at capturing Richmond. Each time a different strategy to do this was devised.
