The Union Strategy was known as the Anaconda Plan. Scott's plan involved blockading southern ports and seizing control of the Mississippi River Valley, depriving the South of supplies or the ability to easily transport troops and supplies, squeezing the life out of the Confederacy. Later commanders elaborated on the plan by adding control of the Cumberland and Tennessee Rivers and, later still, adding Total War to completely destroy the South's infrastructure, causing the complete collapse of the economy and preventing supplies from getting to the soldiers in the field, and destroying enemy military and civilian morale.
