Question

How was the North's strategy different from the South's strategy?

Answer 1

The Union strategy to win the war did not emerge all at once. By 1863, however, the Northern military plan consisted of five major goals: Fully blockade all Southerncoasts. This strategy, known as the Anaconda Plan, would eliminate the possibility of Confederate help from abroad.

Answer 2

Answer:

The North's Strategy was an offensive one, the South's strategy was a defensive one.

Explanation:

The North's Strategy was different from the South's in the sense that the North , having more resources, opted for an offensive one, the goal was to win the war.

The South's Strategy was a defensive one, its objective to punish and repel invaders  at every chance with little margin for error. The belief was that their more qualified generals and their strategy would  make up for inferior resources and more limited manpower.
