His plan was to fight the confedracy and to win that battle
He believed that he could win only by waging total war - destroying all food, homes, farms, buildings etc .. Basically any supplies that the Confederate could use
Despite the huge amount of Union casualties it caused, General Grant and US President Lincoln sought an end to the US Civil War. Grant therefore used the "numbers game". He realized that the South could not replace its soldiers as the North could. Many Northerners criticized Grants scorch and burn and win at any cost strategy.
Pure attrition.
He relied on his superior numbers, knowing that he could replace his losses, and that the Confederates couldn't.
There were mixed reviews by the North at the beginning of the Civil War that the Anaconda Plan was a viable plan. The plan was proposed by Winfield Scott, General-in-Chief.

I'll answer that! the Union of course! slavery was wrong!
