During the American Civil War, the Confederacy's initial military plan was a simple but enviable one: to defend its territory from Union incursions. Not needing to invade the Union in order to survive, the Confederacy only needed to parry any attacks that the Union might make against it.

The Confederate leaders who had held office in the Confederate government or high military rank, would have been deprived of their rights of property.
The Union military strategy primarily focused on a war of attrition, aiming to leverage its superior resources, manpower, and industrial capacity to exhaust the Confederacy. This included the Anaconda Plan, which sought to blockade Southern ports and control the Mississippi River to suffocate the Confederate economy. In contrast, the Confederate strategy relied on defensive tactics and seeking foreign support, particularly from Britain and France, while attempting to win decisive battles to boost morale and encourage Northern peace movements. Overall, the Union aimed for total victory through comprehensive campaigns, while the Confederacy sought to prolong the war and defend its territory.
The Confederate's plan to win the Civil War was defensive. they would stay on their own territory and wait for the Union to get tired of fighing them and surrender. the Union's plan to win the Civil War was to attack. they did go on to Confederate land, but lost many of the battles because theyre general (general McClennan) waasn't aggressive enough, and he evntually got replaced with another general that Lincoln selected. who do you think was right in the Civil War? I'll answer that! the Union of course! slavery was wrong!
Yes, the Confederate military plan during the American Civil War included elements of a war of attrition. The Confederacy aimed to prolong the conflict to wear down the Union's resolve and resources, hoping that public opinion in the North would shift against the war. By defending their territory and engaging in limited offensive operations, they sought to inflict enough casualties on Union forces to weaken their commitment to the fight. This strategy ultimately proved insufficient, as the Union's industrial capacity and manpower outmatched the Confederacy's efforts.
The Anaconda plan didn't propose anything. It was a military plan that was proposed by Winfield Scott. This was the Union;s plan to defeat the Confederacy at the beginning of the civil war and consisted of: 1) capturing Richmond, VA (the Confederate capitol) 2) training their army better 3) fighting into the deeper south 4) blockading the Confederate coast line
Several Confederate Generals proposed ways to assault Washington DC, in order to slow down the advances of the Union army in the South. One plan was offered by Confederate General Braxton Bragg.He called upon Jefferson Davis to begin an assault on Washington DC with all available forces not required to defend key points in the South.
These are a few military strategies the Unions and Confederates had:nion (North): formed lines to prevent Confederate forces from passing into Union campsConfederate (South): charged uphill to Union lines
During the American Civil War, the South's initial plan to defend its homeland was a simple but, for several years, effective one. Taking advantage of its interior lines of communication and defense, it sought to force the Union into costly and slow attacks upon strong-point defenses at the borders of the South. At the same time, its Army of Northern Virginia sought to threaten the Union capitol of Washington, D. C. , while also protecting the Confederate capitol of Richmond, Virginia.
