The Union used a military strategy known as the Anaconda Plan. Which of the following describes this strategy correctly?
1 answer:
Developed by General Scott, the Anaconda Plan was Scott's plan to blockade the Southern Coast and then go up around Texas and down the Mississippi into into Southern territories wreaking havoc and destruction as it was slowly getting strangled off from commerce.
The general idea was that if one was to blockade the South's coasts, you'd be able to keep them from getting supplies.
Historians have not been kind to the Anaconda Plan, commenting on the misidentification of the South's supply chains and what was actually necessary to cripple the Southern economy.

Explanation:
Thomas Paine published Common Sense in 1776. He wrote this with one purpose: independence.
He hoped that his pamphlet would stir up feelings of discontent and anger to convince more colonists to join the movement of independence. He knew American independence was necessary and inevitable, but was also aware that more support translated to better results.
So he didn't think independence was impossible, uncertain, or illegal, but he suggested it was <u>just a matter of time.</u>
