What was General Scotts plan for the first year of the war why?

To blockade the Southern ports, and seal the borders, to starve the Southern economy, while the Union built up and trained its armies to professional standard. Then, when the Confederates were in a weakened state, to drive down the Mississippi, isolating all units to the West of the river, and finally attack the armies with a big advantage in numbers and equipment. The plan was called the Anaconda by Northern journalists and cartoonists, and it was ridiculed for being too slow. But the Union armies were shown to be unprepared for combat for most of the first year of the war. And in the end, the Union did follow a plan that was very like it.
