1. The Union's use of a naval blockade to cut off Southern ports and prevent the Confederacy from receiving supplies and exporting goods. This strategy, known as the Anaconda Plan, was a key element of the Union's overall military strategy.
2. The Union's emphasis on total war, including the targeting of civilian infrastructure and resources in order to weaken the Confederate war effort and bring about a quicker end to the conflict. This strategy, employed most notably by General William Tecumseh Sherman during his March to the Sea and the subsequent Carolinas Campaign, was designed to break the will and ability of the Confederacy to continue the fight.
