What was the intent of the Union strategy known as the Anaconda Plan?
During the American Civil War, the intent of the Union strategy known as the Anaconda Plan was to strangle the South into submission through several means. The first means was a naval blockade to prevent sea-borne trade from reaching Southern ports or leaving them. The second was to menace the Southern capitol of Richmond, Virginia, so as to drain strength from the overall Southern military force. The third was to cut the South in two along the Mississippi River, which would both damage severely the Southern economy while exposing the Deep South states to direct invasion.
What pushed the Southern states over the brink?
The election of the Republican Lincoln in 1860. The 1860 race developed into one of four candidates, with northern Democrats (Douglas), southern Democrats (Breckenridge) and a third party, the Constitutional Union Party (Bell) dividing the opposition vote. Lincoln won with only 40% of the popular vote, and carried no southern states. The Republican Party was new, having been created in Ripon, Wisconsin in 1854, to fill the void left by the death of the Whig Party. Their unsuccessful 1856 candidate was John C. Fremont. Not all Republicans were Abolitionists, but all Abolitionists were Republicans. Though Lincoln felt at the time that he lacked constitutional authority to do anything about ending slavery, and repeatedly tried to reassure the southern states that he had no intention of attempting it, the prospect of a Lincoln presidency was alarming enough to the southern political leadership to give the "fire eaters" ascendancy and allowed them to lead the deep south states to secede even before Lincoln was sworn in (which was done on March 4, until 1944). The slave states of the upper south (North Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee and Arkansas) did not secede until after Lincoln called on them for troops "to suppress the insurrection" in the wake of Fort Sumter. They then had to decide whether to assist in subjugating their neighbors, or to cast their lot with them. The "border states" where slavery was widespread had differing reactions. Kentucky attempted to proclaim neutrality. Missouri's state government was pro-secession but was forestalled by quick action on the part of US army officers on the scene. Maryland was also pro-secession but Lincoln imprisoned the state's governor and many legislators to prevent the adoption of an ordinance of secession. Delaware took the hint and avoided the fate of Maryland.
