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.

Why did Reconstruction succeed during the Civil War?
Reconstruction did not occur during the Civil War. Reconstruction was after the terrible destruction of the war. And reconstruction was not entirely successful, despite what that chapter in the history book tells you. Reconstruction first started with lincolns plan. It failed. Congress then tried a plan, but Lincoln pocket vetoed it. Johnston then tried a plan, but failed, then congress came up with a new plan and suceeded.
