What was the northern generals' plan to use the Mississippi river to defeat the south?
The Northern generals, particularly General Ulysses S. Grant, aimed to control the Mississippi River as part of their Anaconda Plan. By seizing key points along the river, they intended to divide the Confederacy, cutting off supplies and reinforcements between the eastern and western states. This strategy would cripple the South's logistical capabilities and weaken their ability to wage war. Ultimately, control of the river would also allow Union forces to move troops and resources more freely throughout the region.
