The Union's first plan for defending the South during the American Civil War was to blockade the Southern ports in order to cut off the Confederacy's access to trade and supplies. This plan, known as the Anaconda Plan, aimed to squeeze the Confederacy economically and weaken their ability to sustain their war effort. The Union also sought to gain control of the Mississippi River, which would split the Confederacy in half and limit their ability to move troops and supplies.
