Which two strategies were more characteristic of the Union during the Civil War?

Answer 1

The two strategies that were more characteristic of the Union during the Civil War were:

1. Anaconda Plan: The Union adopted the Anaconda Plan, a strategy proposed by General Winfield Scott, which aimed to blockade Confederate ports, divide the Confederacy by controlling the Mississippi River, and slowly squeeze the Confederacy into submission.

2. Total War: The Union embraced a strategy of total war, in which they targeted not only Confederate armies but also civilian infrastructure and resources. This included Sherman's March to the Sea, in which General William Tecumseh Sherman and his troops destroyed everything in their path as they marched through Georgia, in an effort to break the will of the Confederate people.
