During the American Civil War, the intent of the Union strategy known as the Anaconda Plan was to strangle the South into submission through several means. The first means was a naval blockade to prevent sea-borne trade from reaching Southern ports or leaving them. The second was to menace the Southern capitol of Richmond, Virginia, so as to drain strength from the overall Southern military force. The third was to cut the South in two along the Mississippi River, which would both damage severely the Southern economy while exposing the Deep South states to direct invasion.


What was the nickname for the northern strategy during the civil war?

One of the most prominent and successful military plans the Union created was known as the Anaconda Plan. It was devised by General Winfield Scott in 1861, and it proposed a blockade of all Southern ports so that... 1.) No foreign power could supply the burgeoning Confederate States of America. 2.) The South couldn't export it's valuable cash crop---Cotton. 3.) The South would be severely limited on international trade overall. This basically strangle-holded the already resource-limited American South. Although ships smuggled goods into the South from time to time, the Anaconda Plan was a resounding and enduring success in the Union's war effort, essentially crippling the Confederacy's capacity to trade for needed goods on an international level.

What problems did US farmers and workers face in the 1890s and how did they try to solve them?

The Populist Party was a third party movement that developed with major support from the farmers. Crop prices fell as production increased. Credit was hard to get and interest rates were high when they had to buy their new seed for spring planting. They developed a way for the farmers to deposit crops in storage sites and use them as collateral for low-interest government loans. The belief that more participation by regular people in government would end the strangle-hold the Washington bureaucracy and the big banks of Wall Street had. Power to the People was the populists slogan. The workers were helped by the Progressives in terms of working conditions, work site safety, child labor,living wages, and the writers, known as muckrakers, got Theodore Roosevelt's support. Populism and Progressive-ism were late 19th and early 20th century movements to help the regular person.
