History

tester [92]3 years ago

The crops were all destroyed and long gone. The south had battles on many fields that once grew various types of crops. Men went missing who once tended the fields for the crops to go. Many of them ended up injured or even worse, death. Plantations were left abanded and destroyed. Transportation was gone. Railroad lines had been pulled out or torn apart to prevent the south from moving supplies. Even walking to find a way out was very dangerous for anybody.

explain what the union navy and army did to maintain or make progress on steps 1 and 2 of the anaconda plan from 1862 to 1863
Andrej [43]
Step 1 of the Anaconda plan was to completely blockade all ports that were in any way related to the southern territories. They wanted to prevent them from getting help from outsider countries such as European countries which were willing to help the Southerners at the time. By blocking all ports, they would prevent them from ever leaving the territory. This step was conducted by the Navy.

Step 2 was about cutting it off from help from the Americas. It was about a continental blockade where the southerners would be surrounded from all sides, from Northern states in the north, to northern blockades in the East and West. They would occupy and block things like railroads or similar roads and would prevent anything from getting in or going out of the territory.<span />
