The Anaconda Plan consisted of: 1) Blockading Atlantic Ports of the Southern States, 2) Blockading the Gulf Ports, and 3) Seizing and Securing the Mississippi to deny its use to the enemy either through gunboat blockade or by an overland campaign. The plan authored by General Scott also included securing the Ohio River. In total the Plan was devised to squeeze the South into submission and hopefully the South would sue for peace seeing it had no hope. Lincoln rejected the Ohio River part of the PLan as not being practical.
