The Union blockade of the Southern ports was part of General Scott's Anaconda Plan.
The Anaconda plan involved choking off the Southern supply of goods via a port blockage in tandem with the Union Army coming up, around, and down the Mississippi River and working through the south systemically.
It was the
strategy of Attrition.<span>Washington saw, particularly
after the fall of New York in 1776, that, despite the fact that his little
armed force couldn't guard every one of the urban areas in America, its
presence only guaranteed that the revolution would proceed. Without a genuine
normal armed force, he stayed away from any definitive conflict with the expert
English forces in favor of a strategy of attrition, fighting just when the
chances were unmistakably to support him.</span>

As the Portuguese were establishing trading posts along the west coast of Africa, Spain watched with increasing envy. The Spanish monarchs also desired a direct sea route to Asia. In 1492, an Italian sea captain, Christopher Columbus, convinced Spain to finance a bold plan: finding a route to Asia by sailing west across the Atlantic Ocean. In October of that year, Columbus reached an island in the Caribbean. He was mistaken in his thought that he had reached the East Indies. But his voyage would open the way for European colonization of the Americas-a process that would forever change the world. The immediate impact of Columbus's voyage, however, was to increase tensions between Spain and Portugal. The Portuguese believed that Columbus had indeed reached Asia. Portugal suspected that Columbus had claimed for Spain lands that Portuguese sailors might have reached first. The rivalry between Spain and Portugal grew more tense. In 1493, Pope Alexander VI stepped in to keep peace between the two nations. He suggested an imaginary dividing line, drawn north to south, through the Atlantic Ocean. All lands to the west of the line, known as the Line of Demarcation, would be Spain's. These lands included most of the Americas. All lands to the east of the line would belong to Portugal. Portugal complained that the line gave too much to Spain. So it was moved farther west to include parts of modern-day Brazil for the Portuguese. In 1494, Spain and Portugal signed the Treaty of Tordesillas, in which they agreed to honor the line. The era of exploration and colonization was about to begin in earnest.
