Did the anaconda plan work

Answer 1

This was the name by which the press ridiculed the original war-plan put forward by the ageing General Winfield Scott.

He was one of the very few men who realised it would be a long war, and his proposal was to starve the South by sealing the borders and blockading the ports - constricting the life out of it like an anaconda. And the armies would not move in until the Confederacy was already in a weakened state.

This was rejected by Congress and the war took its familiar course, with extensive combat but no decisive result for more than two years.

In the end, the North settled for something very similar to Scott's original plan.

Answer 2

In the early stage of the war it was not so effective, but after several months, it was getting more and more effective thanks to the constant strengthening of the Union Navy operating along the rivers and especially in the open sea by landing operation on the Confederacy's coasts, port blockades and hunting for the blockade runners.
