What were the war strategies of the North at the onset of the civil war?

Winfield Scott's strategy, known as The Anaconda Plan, is what eventually won the war. Scott proposed the blockade of all Southern ports, followed by the capture of the Mississippi River, isolating the states east of the Mississippi from those West of the river, preventing reinforcement and resupply from Texas, Louisiana, and Arkansas, leading to the gradual starvation of Southern forces. Grant added to the plan by capturing the Cumberland and Tennessee River Valleys as well, and by sending Sherman on the famous March through Georgia, which further isolated the breadbasket states, preventing them from providing provisions for the troops fighting in Virginia. Scott and Grant understood that by removing the means by which the South could make war, the armies would become futile in the field.
