Abstract
Citizens of North and South rush to volunteer their services, wanting to get into the action before the skirmish is over. Neither side has guns, uniforms, or any kind of organization. Winfield Scott, commanding general for the United States, launches his "anaconda plan," an economic blockade designed to squeeze the Confederate states back into the Union. Scott's health will not allow him to lead an active field campaign so he offers the job to Robert E. Lee who turns him down. Initially the industrial North seems to have the advantage although there has been little recent growth. It is thought that European powers will stay out of the conflict because they want exports from both the North and the South.
