The Anaconda plan was strategically simplistic and of course tactically difficult to implement. It entailed controlling the Mississippi (which would split the Confederacy) and blockading the South to prevent exports (which would be used to pay for weapons).
These ships were called blockade runners
The ships that attempted to break through the North's blockade during the American Civil War were commonly referred to as "blockade runners." These vessels were usually fast and nimble, designed to evade Union naval forces and transport goods, supplies, and sometimes troops to the Confederacy. Their success was crucial for the South, as they helped to facilitate trade and supply lines despite the blockade.
Much bigger population from which to recruit armies. Nearly all the industrial manufacturing capability in America. A Navy big enough to blockade the Southern ports. A big advantage in artillery. A President of exceptional talent.
Until the end of the war, tactics on both sides remained the same as in Napoleonic times. The union strategy was a blockade strategy at sea and on the rivers, coupled with a total war strategy to destroy the means of producing war supplies on land.

Gettysburg, which was the turning point of war. The Battle of Antietam. And the Siege of Vicksburg, which split the South in two as part of the Norths 'Anaconda Plan'.
The strategy was called The Anaconda Plan. It was devised by General Scott in the early days of the war. It called for the blockade of southern ports, closing the Mississippi to southern supply traffic, and starving the South into submission. The actual events modified the plan by also capturing the Cumberland and Tennessee Rivers, and advancing into the heartland of the South, but the overall design remained intact.

Ships that imported and exported goods through the North's blockade of the South during the American Civil War were commonly referred to as "blockade runners." These vessels attempted to evade Union naval forces to deliver supplies and goods to the Confederacy or to bring goods from the South to international markets. Their operations were risky and often involved navigating through tight patrols and dangerous waters.
