The plan to gain control of the Mississippi River during the American Civil War was part of the Union's larger military strategy known as the Anaconda Plan. This strategy aimed to blockade Southern ports and gain control of the Mississippi River to split the Confederacy in two, thereby restricting its ability to transport troops and supplies. The successful capture of key locations along the river, such as Vicksburg in 1863, was crucial for achieving this objective.
