Best Answer

Once Grant gained control of Vicksburg, it cut the Confederacy in half. Everything west of the Mississippi River had no communication with the rest of the Confederacy. This relates to the Anaconda plan because the more that the Union can split the Confederacy, the weaker it will become and the more likely it will be to surrender.

What battle did the union use the anaconda plan?

It did not relate to any particular battle. It was a war-policy aimed at steadily squeezing the life out of the Confederacy. The plan was put forward at the outset of the war by the outgoing General-in-Chief, the distinguished but too-elderly Winfield Scott, and instantly derided by the press as the 'Anaconda Plan' - much too slow for the short war that most people were expecting. But in the end, the Union did adopt a war-plan that was very like it, when Grant ended the system of prisoner exchange, and conducted a war of attrition, knowing that the Confederates would not be able to replace their battle-losses.
