what was the point of the anaconda plan?
blockade, taking into account the topography of the coast
the anaconda plan is the name applied to a u.s. union army outline strategy for suppressing the confederacy at the beginning of the american civil war. proposed by union general-in-chief winfield scott, the plan emphasized a union blockade of the southern ports, and called for an advance down the mississippi river to cut the south in two. because the blockade would be rather passive, it was widely derided by a vociferous faction of union generals who wanted a more vigorous prosecution of the war, and who likened it to the coils of an anaconda suffocating its victim. the snake image caught on, giving the proposal its popular name.
