The press humorously called it the Anaconda Plan (i.e. slow strangulation) when it was originally put forward by the elderly General-in-Chief, Winfield Scott. At that point, most people were expecting only a short war.

They tried to import goods from Europe, and the Union used political measures and a blockade to keep the South weak. So in general, the North used the blockade to starve the South of valuable goods.
