There were three parts to the Anaconda Plan:
1. Western Campaign- This helped the Union gain control of the Mississippi Valley and cut off shipment of supplies for the Confederates. It completely cut off Texas and Arkansas from the rest of the Confederate States and supplies could not reach them.
2. Eastern Campaign- Helped Union gain control of the Eastern side of the land, the idea being that the Confederates would get no imports or send exports. It would have given the Union control of the eastern seaboard.
3. Naval Blockade- The Union would block areas such as the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean with ships. This way they could easily take over waterways.
The Anaconda Plan.
Anaconda Plan: a three-staged attack The North developed a complex plan to defeat the Confederacy with as little deaths as possible. This plan, consisted of three parts, a western campaign, an eastern campaign, and a naval blockade of the Southern coast. The plan was properly titled Anaconda because the North was trying to squeeze the South and divide it so that it couldn't show a united front.
The Anaconda Plan was Gen.Winfield Scott's strategic plan for the North, not for the South. It consisted of blockading southern seaports and capturing the river ports of the Mississippi River. The South did not have an articulated war policy. It is one of their greatest failings.
The long-term Anaconda Plan was the one put forward at the outbreak of war by the General-in-Chief of the US Armies, the elderly Winfield Scott. It was ridiculed at that time, because everyone expected the war to be over in weeks. 'Before the Anaconda Plan' would mean before the war, when there were almost no troops in uniform and no strategy for the forthcoming conflict, which was unlike any other that America had ever seen or heard of.
That was Winfield Scott, the General-in-Chief who was still in the chair in 1861, although far too old for the job. His long-term plan for the war was ridiculed as 'Scott's Anaconda' (slow strangulation) at a time when almost everyone else thought it would be a short and fairly bloodless war. Time would prove him right, and the Union did eventually put this sort of plan into effect.

The Anaconda Plan affected slavery indirectly. It was a plan to blockade southern ports and prevent the Confederacy from receiving supplies and war material. The Anaconda Plan greatly weakened the southern economy during the Civil War and was one of the factors that led to its defeat, which ended slavery in the south.
