This was the name by which the press ridiculed the original war-plan put forward by the ageing General Winfield Scott.
He was one of the very few men who realised it would be a long war, and his proposal was to starve the South by sealing the borders and blockading the ports - constricting the life out of it like an anaconda. And the armies would not move in until the Confederacy was already in a weakened state.
