In reference to US wars, "nationalist" and "loyalist" generally refer to the American Revolutionary War, where the Nationalist (or Revolutionaries) were the side promoting independence from Great Britain, while the Loyalist side wanted to remain part of the British Empire.

The American Civil War was split into two sides: the Union (those wishing the country to remain whole) and the Confederate (those wishing to split the country into two).
