The Anaconda Plan
Blocking the Confederate coast was the first part of the Unions 'Anaconda Plan', which also involved the invasion from the North and the taking/controlling of the Mississippi River. The plan was called the Anaconda Plan because it "strangled" the Southern Economy and Military. The North took the Mississippi to cut the Southwestern States of the Confederacy off from the rest of the Confederate States (Texas and the Oklahoma/New Mexico Territories), and to gain control of the Southerners 2nd most important port, New Orleans. The invasion from the North was to exhaust the Southern Armies (of-course). And Blockading the South was to prevent the trade of cotton (the staple product in the South) and other goods, crippling the Southern economy. Because of the blockade the South had almost no food and their currency was worth next to nothing.
THe best known Union plan was known as the "Anaconda Plan." A plan to "strangle" the south by isolating it from means of communication and supplies. The coast was cut off by a Union blockade, the South was divided at the Mississippi by western troop movements and the U.S. Navy, and third and final part of the plan was the capture of the Confederate capital in Richmond.
Plan by the Union military to defeat he Confederacy by surrounding it and cutting off access to any other part of the world.

They are found in tropical South America.
The Anaconda Plan
The Green Anaconda is obviously related to other anaconda and other South American snakes but is part of the python family and if you look at the map of Pangaea, Africa and South America were attached to each other which means that they are probably related to African Pythons
because it is an animal.
Controlling the Mississippi river.
Gettysburg, which was the turning point of war. The Battle of Antietam. And the Siege of Vicksburg, which split the South in two as part of the Norths 'Anaconda Plan'.
One important part of the Anaconda Plan was to take control of the Mississippi River. Another part was to block all ports and to take over Richmond.
Controlling the Mississippi river.
Anaconda plan
No one knows if the Anaconda plan changed the outcome of the Civil War. The Emancipation Proclamation ended overt assistance of the South by England and France. It made Black men part of the Union Army. The South developed its own factories. Sherman's destruction of the South's internal transportation network probably did more damage than the Anaconda plan. If you can get goods to the port of Apalachicola, Florida, which was not closed, and from there to Columbus, Georgia, but the railroads from Columbus, Georgia to the rest of the South to everywhere else have been destroyed, it does not do Lee's army a bit of good.
