Blockading the Southern ports, to starve the South of war supplies from abroad. Liberating the Mississippi, to divide the Confederacy into two, isolating all armies to the West of the river. Hope this helps!

Two important long-term strategies developed by the North to win the Civi War were: to blockade all southern coasts so that the confederates would not be able to get help from abroad; this was known as the "Anaconda Plan". Another was to debilitate southern morale by capturing and destroying the most representative southern places, such as Savannah and Atlanta.
