which war please be more specific
It can be said the neither the Union nor the Confederacy was prepared for a long four year war. With that said however, The Union did have more of a preparation than the Confederacy. here are some example:1. The North at least had an army, even if the 16,000 troops were not stationed near the opening battles;2. The South had state militias but no standing army;3. The Union's navy was small, however the South had no navy at all; and4. The Union had a well established government, while the South had to create one from scratch.
Neither side was prepared for war - there were no big, trained armies. But the strategy suggested by the elderly Union General-in-Chief (The slow 'Anaconda Plan') was actually the most realistic proposal, and in the end the North carried out something very similar.
The Union - bigger population, more railroads, advanced manufacturing industry. The Confederacy - some of the best officers who had resigned from the US Army, rank-and-file who had the soldiering skills like riding and shooting, an emotive war-aim to defend the homeland aainst the invader.

Robert E. Lee was not in favor of session, but offered his official resignation from the Union army.soon after Virginia seceded to join the Confederacy. Many sources say Lincoln offered him command of the Federal army in April of 1861. Other sources say he was offered the command of a Union army. Either way he was loyal to his home State of Virginia. He began as a major general with the Confederacy. Lee and George B. McClellan both served under General Winfield Scott as engineer officers in the Mexican War. Scott certainly thought Lee was the best man to command the Federal armies. Scott had rated him as the best and bravest officer in the Mexican War.
When the confederacy was formed, the current Texas governor felt his troops were best served by fighting Native American wars and refused to send any troops to the East to fight in the confederacy. However, after he left office, Texas joined. Kentucky and Missouri refused to secede from the Union but rump groups declared secession.
in the year of late 1865, the surrender of the confederacy and the victorious union General Lee surrendered to new US Union general Ulyyses Grant in Virginia's capital in Lee's home (that's my best answer
No, not all slaves were seen as free people, but many of the slaves thought of the Union as 'allys' or 'friends', and the Union would do their best to help the slaves in their deeds; this also cause some of the conflict with the Confederacy, partially leading to Lincoln's death.
