What was the goal of the anaconda plan?

The goal of the Anaconda Plan was to squeeze the life out of the South by a naval blockade to cut off shipping, as well as a thrust down the Mississippi River.

The Anaconda Plan uses the term "anaconda," which is a large type of boa snake which squeezes the life out of its victims.  As a military strategy, the Anaconda Plan was proposed by Union General Winfield Scott.  The "anaconda" analogy refers especially to the blockade of the coastline of the Confederate states.
