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.

Divide and conquer
During the American Civil War, the most well-known proponent of the Union's "divide and conquer" plan (in fact, its architect) was General Winfield Scott (1786-1866). Known derogatorily as the "Anaconda Plan," Scott's strategy focused on a blockade of the South's ports and the taking of the Mississippi River by Union forces, which would cut the South in two.
This was part of the overall Union strategy(essentially divide and conquer).The first part of that was achieved with the control of the Mississippi River. Sherman captured Atlanta as it was an important railroad junction. He then set out on his infamous March to the Sea,cutting Georgia in half.
