How did the anaconda plan divide the south by taking control of the Mississippi river?

The original Anaconda Plan presented by US General Scott, had the value of taking control of the nations major river, the Mississippi River. It was a river of major economic ports and shipping. It was rejected at first. Later, without calling it the Anaconda Plan, the Union took control of the Mississippi River. By doing this the Confederate states laying to the west of the river were cut off from the eastern states of the Confederacy. It was not exactly "one half" but to a degree hurt the Confederate economy and its military power.

Why did the union want to block the confederate coast?

Blocking the Confederate coast was the first part of the Unions 'Anaconda Plan', which also involved the invasion from the North and the taking/controlling of the Mississippi River. The plan was called the Anaconda Plan because it "strangled" the Southern Economy and Military. The North took the Mississippi to cut the Southwestern States of the Confederacy off from the rest of the Confederate States (Texas and the Oklahoma/New Mexico Territories), and to gain control of the Southerners 2nd most important port, New Orleans. The invasion from the North was to exhaust the Southern Armies (of-course). And Blockading the South was to prevent the trade of cotton (the staple product in the South) and other goods, crippling the Southern economy. Because of the blockade the South had almost no food and their currency was worth next to nothing.
