There was no Confederate General in the Anaconda Plan. The name was given derisively to the long-term strategy recommended by the Commander-in-Chief of the U.S.Army, Winfield Scott. The idea was to blockade the ports and liberate the Mississippi, to stop the South importing the goods it needed. Since most people thought the war would be over in weeks, the plan was rejected. But later, the North adopted a programme basically similar. An interesting case of a top General applying valuable insight, but too old to fight his corner.

What were three things that were included in the unions plan to win the war?
They didn't have 3 plans it was all one big plan a matter of fact. This was called the Anaconda plan. The union would block out the Confederate docks so they can't get supplies, goods, and sell cotton which was one of the south's major products that gave them money to buy supplies. The reason it was called the " Anaconda Plan" because an anaconda squeezes their prey slowly to suffocation. The union planned to squeeze the Confederate troops of their recourses in which they could easily win.
