Answer 2

I believe the answer is: E. Anaconda Plan

Through the anaconda plan, the union planned to block out the southern ports in order to cut out the confederates' food and weaponaries supply.
This would reduce both the will power and millitary power of the confederates which help the union army to obtain early boost in the civil war.
