COMPARING BATTLE STRATEGIES BETWEEN
THE NORTH AND THE SOUTH
NORTH
SOUTH
The military strategy of the North was fourfold: to blockade Southern ports to cut off supplies
from Europe, to break the Confederacy in two at the Mississippi River, to destroy the
transportation and communication systems of the Confederacy thus crippling morale and to attack
the Confederate capital at Richmond. The Southern strategy was to fight a defensive war, using
supplies from Europe gained from the sale of cotton, until Northern forces tired of the war. North
