What was the confedracys plan on winning thw civil war?

Answer 1

The Confederates (south) plan would:

-Keep it's army in the South and wait to be attacked, saving their strength.

-Count on the better Southern military leaders to out-fight the Northern generals

-Use cotton diplomacy to get England and France to help the south

-Use quick striking attacks north of Washington D.C., to show the North how tough the South can be.

They didn't have many options and weren't very good at planning either, they sort of winged it.

Answer 2

The original 'Anaconda' plan (i.e. slow strangulation) was in 3 parts:

1. Starve the South by blockading the ports.

2. Liberate the Mississippi, to divide the Confederacy in two.

3. Then move in and destroy their weakened armies.

Answer 3

The Confederacy's plan to win the US Civil War was to succeed in forcing the Union that the war to end the Southern rebellion was not worth the huge cost of Northern lives. The South planned for the most part, a defensive strategy and therefore was its best possible strategy in light of the fact that the Union could field huge numbers of recruits to its military

Answer 4

The Confederate plan to win the US Civil War was to win enough victories against the Union army that the Union would cease its military operations and simply quit the war. As the South did not need to "conquer" the North, it had high hopes that the Union and its "peace groups" would pressure the Lincoln administration into giving up on the war. The South also hoped that a peace plan offered by Great Britain and/or France would convince the North to stop the war. Formal recognition of the Confederacy by either England or France would also help to end the war in the Souths favor.
