You didn't list any statements, but here I can describe a few and what the anaconda plan was.
The Anaconda plan was a plan by the Union during the civil war to wrap around the Confederate states in a way to, well, choke them as an Anaconda would. It would essentially create blockades around the ports and control any waterways.
Thus, some statements that could apply would revolve around wrapping, blockades, closing exits, cornering, and anything around those terms.
Hope this helps!
