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.
