The Union strategy, formulated by General Winfield Scott, became known as the Anaconda Plan. It consisted of blockading the southern seaports and capturing the Mississippi River towns to cut off trade and restrict troops and supplies. Later, this was supplemented by the doctrine of Total War which included the destruction of all supplies, transportation, communication, and manufacturing capacity.
