He knew that it would be a long war, and that the strategy ought to be long-term, with effective blockading of the South, to squeeze the life out of the Confederacy.
This was derided as the 'Anaconda Plan'. But it was actually the basis of the strategy the Union eventually adopted.
Very few others realized it would be a long war, though some letters Sherman wrote to Southern friends at the beginning suggest that he was one of the few.
There were mixed reviews by the North at the beginning of the Civil War that the Anaconda Plan was a viable plan. The plan was proposed by Winfield Scott, General-in-Chief.

President James K. Polk held General Winfield Scott in high regard, particularly valuing his military experience and leadership during the Mexican-American War. Polk appointed Scott as the commander of the U.S. Army due to his strategic capabilities, but their relationship became strained over differences in military strategy and political views. Polk often preferred to work with other generals, such as Zachary Taylor, which contributed to tensions between him and Scott. Ultimately, while Polk respected Scott's abilities, their interactions were complicated by differing priorities and approaches to the war.
