Answer:

It is sometimes called the "Anaconda Plan." The map somewhat humorously depicts Winfield Scott's “Anaconda Plan” which resulted in an overall blockade (beginning in 1862) of southern ports and not only targeted the major points of entry for slave/slave trade but also crippled cotton exports
