		The Anaconda Plan As the armies of the United States and the Confederacy organized themselves, Abraham Lincoln met with his generals to form a plan of battle.
		General Scott formed a plan that he called the "Anaconda Plan." Named for giant snakes that kill their prey by strangulation, the Anaconda Plan was designed to "strangle" the South by cutting off its supply lines.
		The Anaconda Plan was approved by President Lincoln and became a major part of the strategy that the United States used in the Civil War.

	Anaconda - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Anacondas (Jibóia and Sucuri, local names) are four species of aquatic boa inhabiting the swamps and rivers of the dense forests of tropical South America as well as the southern swamps of the island of Trinidad.
		The extremely muscular anaconda is a constrictor and is not venomous; however, it still has teeth and powerful jaws that it utilizes to clench onto its prey.
		Anacondas have a reputation for bad temperament; that plus the massive size of the green species mean that anacondas are comparatively less popular as pets than other boas, but they are fairly commonly available in the exotic pet trade, with the exception of E.

	Anaconda Plan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Anaconda Plan was proposed in 1861 by Union General Winfield Scott to win the American Civil War with minimal loss of life, enveloping the Confederacy by blockade at sea and control of the Mississippi River.
		Major General George B. McClellan, a rising military star in Ohio, proposed an overall strategy for the war directly to President Abraham Lincoln, one that emphasized the part his army could play.
		First, the Union would attack the South by establishing a blockade of the coast of the South to prevent the export of cotton, tobacco, and other cash crops from the South and to keep them from importing much-needed war supplies.

	Winfield Scott - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Over the course of his fifty-year career, he commanded forces in the War of 1812, the Mexican-American War, the Black Hawk War, the Second Seminole War, and, briefly, the American Civil War, conceiving the Union strategy known as the Anaconda Plan that would be used to defeat the Confederacy.
		He devised a long-term plan to defeat the Confederacy by occupying key terrain, such as the Mississippi River and key ports on the Atlantic Coast and the Gulf of Mexico, and then moving on Atlanta.
		This Anaconda Plan was derided in the press; however, in its broad outlines, it was the strategy the Union actually used, particularly in the Western Theater and in the successful naval blockade of Confederate ports.

		Anaconda Nickel's financial future is more certain after the company secured the support of its United States bondholders to implement its life-saving recapitalisation.

		Anaconda chief executive Peter Johnston said the bondholder agreement was a major step forward for the company.

	Anaconda Plan - Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
		The Anaconda Plan appears to have originated with Major Kevin Cronin, adjutant to General Henry “Old Brains” Halleck, Commander in Chief of the Army of the Potomac, who received his nickname not from his intelligence, but from his habit of eating fried calf’s brains.
		Reknowned biologist Joseph Bayless advised President Lincoln that although dinosaurs were extinct, he was aware of the existence of a giant Anaconda in Peru, and that in fact, the Anaconda was the Basilica’s main squeeze.
		The Anaconda ate a good many Union soldiers that day, and is believed by most historians to be the primary reason that the Union lost the Battle of Fredericksburg.

	The Anaconda Plan
		It was his belief that sympathy for secession was not as strong as it appeared and that isolation and pressure would make the "fire-eaters" back down and allow calmer heads to take control.
		But the war-fevered nation wanted combat, not armed diplomacy, and the passive features of Scott's plan were ridiculed as a proposal "to squeeze the South to military death." The press, recalling McClellan's alleged "boa-constrictor" remark, named the plan after a different constricting snake, the anaconda.
		The plan was not adopted, but in 1864 it reappeared in aggressive form.

	The Airpower of Anaconda
		Ultimately, Operation Anaconda was a success, due in no small part to the contributions of airpower and the bravery and heroism of those on the ground and in the air alike.

		If they could be made to recognize the overwhelming power of the North without having their stubborn pride inflamed through attack by a hostile army, many would perceive the error of secession and renounce those fire-eaters who had led them into it.
		The primary purpose of Scott's strategy, which became known as the Anaconda Plan, was "to envelop the insurgent States and bring them to terms with less bloodshed than with any other plan." Politically, the strategy was attractive, since it allowed time for tempers to cool and fostered the possibility of peaceful re-establishment of the Union.
		Militarily, the Anaconda Plan envisioned a relatively bloodless victory, since it involved no massive invasion of the seceded states.

		Due to the fact that the Anaconda Plan was in effect what happened anyway, I don't think it would have stopped the Confederacy from invading the north or the shelling of Fort Sumter.
		To put it quite simply, no. The plan called for far to much dependance on communication between armies,which was at that time in many cases hard to achieve between commanders on the same field.
		The other aspect of the plan that was not implemented was the early occupation of Richmond, which was thought would demoralize the South.
