	Scott recognized that the war would not be short, and he devised a plan for using naval blockades to control key [[Confederate States of America\|Confederate]] ports. However, his plan was mocked and dubbed the [[Anaconda Plan]], due to the large amount of coast the Navy would have to patrol. Ironically, this strategy was put into use toward the end of the war to secure Union victory.
