Summary

When the United States entered the Civil War, the Union needed a plan for conducting the war. Its senior military commander, General Windfield Scott, devised a strategy that would play to the Union's strengths and exploit the Confederacy's weaknesses. He hoped that it would bring about a swift end to the war and minimize the loss of human life. The plan didn’t bring about a swift end to the war, but it did play an instrumental role in the conflict. Learn more about the Anaconda Plan and the Union’s grand strategy for defeating the Confederacy on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
