a. strategy for the north
b. strategy for the south
a. This strategy was for the North during the American Civil War. By using a naval blockade, the Union hoped to prevent the Confederate states from receiving supplies from other countries, cutting off their resources and weakening their ability to fight. Seizing Richmond, the Confederate capital, would also have a significant impact on their morale and leadership, while taking control of the Mississippi River would divide the Confederacy in two, making it easier for Union forces to move and control the South.
b. This strategy was not for the South as it was their aim to maintain control over their ports and resources. The South was more focused on defending their territory and relying on their own resources rather than importing from other countries. They also aimed to keep Richmond as their capital and control the Mississippi River to keep their communication and transportation lines open.
