The 3 Objectives of Winning the War were Developed by General Winfield Scott
1. Create a blockade around the South so supplies and products could not enter or leave. This was called the Anaconda Plan because it looked like a snake wrapped about the states.
2. Take control of the Mississippi River. This would cut the Confederacy in half and cut off major trading routes.
3. Attack and take control of Richmond, Virginia which was the capital of the Confederacy.
