Answer 3

okay i feel really bad for making you wait and so the answer is The Anaconda had a historical development, both in its origin and the way it played out in the experience of battle. The blockade had already been proclaimed by President Lincoln. On April 19, 1861, a week after the bombardment of Fort Sumter that marked the outbreak of the war, he announced that the ports of all the seceded states, from South Carolina through Texas, would be blockaded; later, when Virginia and North Carolina also seceded, their coastlines were added.[3] This executive order was not rescinded until the end of the war, so the blockade existed independently of Scott's plan. which i got here... hope i helped if not im sorry i wasted your time
