The Anaconda Plan.

I'd be surprised if you could find two. The plan was put forward by General Winfield Scott, who seemed to be the only senior officer who thought it was going to be a long war. Sherman thought so, and told Southern friends about it, but he was not yet famous.
The drawbacks of the plan was that it would take some time to become effective.
During the United States Civil War era, a man by the name of Winfield Scott proposed a plan to blockade these ports of the seceded Southern states and attack using the Mississippi River. Critics did not think the plan was aggressive enough, comparing it to an anaconda that slowly smothers its victims to death. Therefore, it was discarded for more brutal tactics, such as those shown during the infamous marches of General Sherman.
the Anaconda Plan and Sherman's march both starved, not only soldiers, but also women and children to death. This had a dramatic psychological affect on southerners. It made them become even more furious and increased their urge for revenge and perhaps a future war, in order to get back at the Northerners.
