Their is no single strategy for the North winning the war. Sherman's March to the Sea which cut across Georgia and South Carolina was an example of total war in which they targeted and destroyed anything that aided the South's war effort: rail road tracks, farms, crops ect. Secondly the North had a far superior industrial base than the South as well as more manpower and a superior rail system which quickly transported troops and supplies. Thirdly Grant's continuous running battles against Lee drained Lee's resources and manpower along with the Army of the Tennessee's defeat in the West plus with the severing of the South's supply lines by Sherman led to final victory. In a word the North had em beat with logistics.
The Northern Strategy of Attrition, which led to ultimate victory, was called the Anaconda Plan. It involved blockading all the Southern ports and denying them the use of the Mississippi. This took a great deal of time to come to fruition, but the slow strangulation of the South brought about the desired effect. The North could rely on its superior manpower and manufacturing capability to outlast the South. When Grant and Sherman added Total War and further cut the South in two by destroying supplies, transportation, communications, and crops, the South was starved into submission.
