Was there a declaration of war Civil War?

Short answer: No, can't declare war on yourself. Long answer: The whole purpose of the Civil War was for a new nation to be created, the Confederate States of America.

What side was the union army on North or South?

The American Civil War was battled between the United States of America and the Confederate States of America, an assortment of eleven southern states that left the Union in 1860 and 1861. The contention started basically because of the long-standing conflict over the establishment of subjection. On February 9, 1861, Jefferson Davis, a previous U.S. Representative and Secretary of War, was chosen President of the Confederate States of America by the individuals from the Confederate protected show. Following four wicked long periods of contention, the United States crushed the Confederate States. Eventually, the states that were in defiance were readmitted to the United States, and the establishment of subjugation was abrogated from one side of the country to the other.
