The image illustrates that General Grant took a more offensive attack-and-strike strategy. This is evident from the arrows pointing southward along key routes, such as the Mississippi River and other strategic locations, indicating the Union's intention to advance into Confederate territory. The Union's naval blockade also reflects a strategy aimed at restricting Confederate supply lines and weakening their ability to sustain the war effort. In contrast, the solid line representing the Confederacy suggests a more defensive posture, as they sought to maintain control over their territory rather than launch widespread offensives.
What does the image illustrate in terms of how strategies of the Union and Confederacy differed?
A map shows the offensive and defensive strategies of the Union and Confederacy. An image shows a partial map of the United States that includes the following states: Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Missouri, Kentucky, West Virginia, Arkansas, Louisiana. Mississippi, Tennessee, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, and Washington, D.C. Missouri, Kentucky, West Virginia, Maryland, and Delaware are labeled as border states. There are dashed lines with arrows that represent the Union and point as follows: one pointing southward along the Mississippi River from Illinois to the northern tip of Louisiana one pointing northward along the Mississippi River through the state of Louisiana one pointing southward from Kentucky through Tennessee one pointing southward from D.C. to Virginia. There is a curved, solid line that represents the Confederacy that runs through Central Mississippi through the northern parts of Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina. Two arrows from this line run vertically through North Carolina and Virginia. A dotted line is shown in the Gulf of Mexico from Louisiana to Maryland and labeled Union Naval Blockade to restrict shipping.
