Hey!

General Winfield Scott was the commander of the Union Army. His plan to defeat the Confederacy had three main parts:

1) Blockade all Eastern and Southern ports in the Confederate States.
2) Divide the South by taking control of the Mississippi River.
3) Control the Tennessee Valley and march through Georgia to the coast.

Hope this helps!
