What was a siege and total war, did it affect the war

 A siege was a major part of the unions strategy.  A siege is blockading all of the supplies from coming in. Total War was also a very big part of the Unions strategy.  Total War was going full on war and destroying anything the opponent has in your sight. The big question about these two strategy was, was it fair. In my opinion it was fair cause without it the war would continuously keep going on. Battle after battle and if the war never ended we might have slavery. That why Total War and a Siege is important to American History.
