A Sea Blockade/ Union Blockade
They both had a plan The north had the anaconda plan The south had the cotton diplomacy
The North.
there was a plan called the anaconda plan at the edging of the US to stop ships from coming in.
theanaconda plan was a plan made by the north. the plan was to use ships to make a blockade at the southern ports to block the supply routes
The North had to do the invading, so the South had to react with defensive tactics.
the north was totally invaded by the south and the north totally invaded the south. the north was going to blockade the south and then invade it. The south was going to ware down the north and then invade it
the south's plan was to wear out the north and fight a war of deffending its borders which is much easier to do than attacking which the north was forced to do
That was the plan for the North to blockade the Southern ports and starve the Confederacy of supplies from abroad, then march into the weakened nation with large armies and force surrender.
Speed up the reuniting of the south!
Abraham Lincoln
Because the North had A) more supplies B) more people and C) the Anaconda plan [Anaconda plan: step 1: Blockade southern ports to prevent supplies for their army from coming in. Step 2: Take over the Mississippi River, splitting the South in two. Step 3: Invade from East and West, surrounding the South.]. Plus, Grant was a brilliant General.
The Anaconda Plan was Gen.Winfield Scott's strategic plan for the North, not for the South. It consisted of blockading southern seaports and capturing the river ports of the Mississippi River. The South did not have an articulated war policy. It is one of their greatest failings.
