It was the joke-codename given to the original war plan put forward by the General-in-Chief Winfield Scott, which everyone thought was far too slow and ponderous. (They all expected it to be a quick war.)
But in the end, this was very much the strategy adopted by the Government, based on long-term blockading of the ports and denying the enemy the use of the Mississippi. That is why the Confederates ended up barefoot and starving.
