One name for the strategy was 'war of attrition'. The south could not easily replace men, cannons and other war materials. Over time, even in battles in which the south held its ground, losses mounted to unbearable levels.
This was not the only major strategy of the north in the Civil War. Other large strategies:
Continuously pressure Richmond, the Confederate capital.
Encircle the south and eliminate imports and exports through superior naval force.
Divide the south into two pieces by taking the Mississippi River.
Take the war to the south (Sherman's March) and destroy the slave-based economy and lifestyle.
