The North chose a strategy of Blockade and Attrition called The Anaconda Plan, but eventually shifted to a strategy of Total War. The South chose a defensive Strategy of Attrition, hoping for intervention by England and France, to make Northern voters tire of the war and elect representatives to sue for peace.

∙ 15y agoThe two sides both had great strategys for the first two days. They mainly just sent small scouts ahead to report on the enemy.On the 3rd day though they just attacked.... no real strategy there hmm. of course they did send brigades around the enemy to ensure they would not escape. this was done mainly by the union.

∙ 9y agoThe South hoped to put enough pressure on the Union that the Union would give up. Many places like New York City wanted the war to end and did not want to die to keep the South in the Union. The conscription riots in New York City gave the South hope that they could win by hanging tough. The South also came very close to getting the English to help them. Had the Battles of 1863 gone better the English would have been more encouraged to help the South.
The Union strategy was to blockade the South to prevent the South from getting help from outside and prevent the South from earning any money to buy weapons. The Union had control of the railroads so they had a great advantage. The march to Atlanta cut the South in half and things went downhill from there.
