The original proponent of the divide-and-conquer plan to win the Civil War was General Winfield Scott. A life-long soldier (and politician), Scott proposed a strategy to subjugate the South that was known as the Anaconda Plan, as it intended to strangle the South through a naval blockade and Union control of the Mississippi River, which would cut the South into two vulnerable (and weakened) halves.
