The "Great Snake" you are referring to likely symbolizes the Union's "Anaconda Plan." This strategy was proposed by General Winfield Scott during the early stages of the Civil War. The Anaconda Plan aimed to suffocate the Confederacy by blockading its ports and controlling the Mississippi River, effectively cutting it off from supplies and reinforcements from the outside world. The metaphor of a snake tightening its grip was used to illustrate how the Union intended to strangle the Confederacy economically and militarily until they could defeat it.
On the other hand, the Confederacy’s “Rattlesnake Plan” is not widely recognized or discussed in the same terms, but it did emphasize the need for the Confederacy to defend its borders against invasion.
In summary, the "Great Snake" was mainly associated with the Union's Anaconda Plan.
