Sergio Mancini's "Scott, the Sailor" custom Qee

Sergio Mancini just passed over his entry for the show at Spaghetti Project Gallery which was a custom Qee show featuring works from 44 artists in theme of "The Civil War and Our Founding Fathers"... his entry called "Scott, the Sailor" was created in loue of "The Anaconda Plan" which is the name widely applied to an outline strategy for subduing the seceding states in the American Civil War. Proposed by General-in-Chief Winfield Scott, the plan emphasized the blockade of the Southern ports, and called for an advance down the Mississippi River to cut the South in two. Because the blockade would be rather passive, it was widely derided by the vociferous faction who wanted a more vigorous prosecution of the war, and who likened it to the coils of an anaconda suffocating its victim. The snake image caught on, giving the proposal its popular name.
