At the start of the Civil War in 1861, Lieutenant General Winfield Scott was 74 years of age and physically unable to lead troops in the field. Nevertheless, he advised President Lincoln on military affairs and is attributed with the basic strategic plan for the North during the war, the so-called "Anaconda Plan", which laid out a long-term strangling of the South, militarily and commercially.
