Winfield Scott’s objectives Scott was nearly 75 when the war started. Though he never commanded or fought in the war he came up with three primary objectives or goals to defeat the Confederacy.

The Union had 3 main objectives for winning the war: First: Create a blockade so that products can’t get in or out of the South

Second: Take control of the Mississippi River By taking control of the river the Union would split the South in half and cut off a major supply trading route.

Third: Attack and take the Confederate capital of Richmond, Virginia
