The second Mississippi Plan was an attempt to eliminate African Americans from having voting rights.
The plan was refereed to as the "Anaconda Plan", to cut off the Confederacy into parts to "strangle" it. The main implementations of this plan occurred by the securing of the Mississippi by Union forces and the campaigns near Chattanooga and Sherman's March To The Sea.
General Grant planned to capture Vicksburg because if he succeeded, the United States would be one step closer to executing their plan to defeat the Confederate States. The US had a plan known as the Anaconda Plan to defeat the Confederate States. Their plan was to blockade Southern ports, seize control of the Mississippi River to split the Confederacy in half, and attack the Confederacy from all sides to surround them. General Grant's plan to capture Vicksburg complies with the seizing of the Mississippi River to split the Confederacy in half.
