Question: what were the three parts of the Union strategy in the war

The Union, which had to conquer the South to win, devised a three-part plan: 1. the Union navy would blockade Southern ports, so they could neither export cotton nor import much-needed manufactured goods, 2. Union riverboats and armies would move down the Mississippi River and split the Confederacy in two, and 3. Union armies would capture the Confederate capital at Richmond, Virginia. After snake that suffocates its victims in its coils.
