This strategy, known as the Anaconda Plan, would eliminate the possibility of Confederate help from abroad. Control the Mississippi River. The river was the South's major inland waterway. Also, Northern control of the rivers would separate Texas, Louisiana, and Arkansas from the other Confederate states.
