North strategy- “Anaconda”
• Blockade:– No exports of cotton; economy strangled– No imports of food, materials
• Mississippi– Cut Confederacy in 2
• Richmond– The capital

Confederate strategy
1. Defensive war; prepare and wait for attack– All they have to do is “not lose”
2. “War of attrition”– Inflict continuous casualties on Northern attackers– North will lose the will to fight
3. Europe will side with them (cotton)– Cut off trade in 61- HUGE blunder

Lincoln: Why not free the slaves?
• #1 Objective: save the Union, not free slaves• Political/ Military- Border states (MI, KY, DE,
MD) may secede• May seem like an act of desperation-
Confederacy has been winning all the battles• Legal- Does not have the Constitutional right
to do so

• Issued “by virtue of the power in me vested as Commander in chief”
