Union General Scott's Anaconda Plan was initially thought by Lincoln as being too slow to accomplish his objectives. The Plan called for a blockade of Southern ports on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of the South. Along with that, to take control of the Mississippi and hold important Southern cities on that river. Scott's plan was to basically strangle the South and force them in time force the South to surrender. Lincoln believed that the Plan was too slow. He wanted a faster to for the end of the Southern rebellion. As things worked out, however, the first major step Lincoln took was to attempt the above-mentioned blockade. Later in the war, the control of the Mississippi and New Orleans would be crucial to the Union's war in the West.
