Northern War Strategy Anaconda Plan The Union decided to blockade all Confederate ports so that the South could not get supplies from foreign countries. The north also decided to capture the Mississippi River and split the South in half. Capture the Confederate capital – Richmond, VA. The South's war strategy was known as King Cotton Diplomacy. King Cotton Diplomacy had two parts: • 1. Defense-every time the north invaded the south they would defend and push them back. By doing this the North will get tired of always loosing and will stop fighting. • 2. Great Britain and France need and want the South's cotton. Because of this the South decided to ally with France and Great Britain. They expected that France and Great Britain would help them gain their independence from the United States Southern War Strategy King Cotton Diplomacy • When the Civil War started the Union Army wanted to blockade all southern ports. • This would obstruct trade, prevent the south from selling their cotton, and prevent them from importing needed war equipment and supplies from foreign nations. Union Blockade • Blockade runners were small independent ships that would smuggle supplies into the south and through the union Blockade. • Nine out of every ten ships made it through the Union blockade. The North’s Plan does not work! • Blockade running was big money. Each shipment the south paid $5,000.00 and the captains could make $3,500.00 for every shipment. • The price of goods smuggled were greatly inflated. A bag of salt that could be sold for $5.00 before the war was being sold for $1,200.00 during the Civil War. Blockade Running • Great Britain and France were abolitionists as well and wanted to end slavery. • France and Great Britain did not want to get involved in this war so they began buying cotton from Egypt rather than the Confederate States. • The Confederate States have no market to sell their cotton. The South’s Plan does not work! Misconceptions… • Both sides thought the Civil War would be over quickly with little blood shed! • They were WRONG! • It lasted for 4 years • 600,000 soldiers died • 400,000 soldiers were wounded Extension Assignment Directions: Use your notes from class and create a vocabulary matching or fill in the blank quiz for the following terms.
