They called it The Anaconda Plan.
the north wanted to bring the south back to the union by cut off their shipments to Europe using the anaconda plan
The main southern strategy was to defeat the attacking Union forces and force the northern states to negotiate.Later in the war, a slightly altered strategy was to take a major northern city (Washington, Baltimore, or even Philadelphia) to force the north to negotiate terms favorable to the south. This led to the Battle of Gettysburg.After the losses at Gettysburg and Vicksburg, the south had no real strategy for victory. The strategy seems to have turned to inflicting as much cost on the Yankees as possible.

Scott's strategy became known as the Anaconda Plan.
It became a war of attrition. The term and concept of total war was nonexistent in the US Civil War.
At the start of the war, the Union planned to blockade the southern ports, control the Mississippi River, and capture Richmond, Virginia.
There are no good war strategy games that are free.
Lee commanded the Army of Northern Virginia, but there was no overall Confederate commander to coordinate strategy between various armies.
Chuck noris was the strategy.
Northern strategy during the Civil War, where the North blockaded the South and seized control of the Mississippi River. Also, the correct spelling is "Anaconda." Hope this helps!
The sad fact is: the South did not have a well-developed coordinated overall strategy. Davis had a vague sense of using a Strategy of Attrition to wear down the will of the northern politicians, but there was no Fabian Policy, no articulated set of operations to guide the commanders, and not until the last months of the war was there an overall commander to guide such a policy. It was only the brilliance of Lee's and Jackson's aggressive defense in Northern Virginia that kept the South in the war as long as it was.
