1. Establish a blockade of Northern ships around the Southern State's coastline; and

2. Prevent the South from exporting cotton and receiving supplies.

The third part of General Winfield Scott's plan was to take control of the Mississippi River. This would enhance the Union's use of this major waterway by having it act as a supply route and transportation of troops vis the river instead of railways and roads. Large cargo loads would be made possible via the river.
