The Anaconda Plan was the name given for General Scott's idea to subdue the Confederate Army. His plan consisted of barricading enemy supply ports and then cutting through the middle of the South to separate them into two pieces. This plan was going to be long and contracted, but effective much like an anaconda killing its prey.
