Rebels
Confederates.
The rebels or "rebs".
The Confederates and the Union Army.
They did not burn it....the Confederates did it.
Ambrose Burnside was a Major General of the Union Army.
maybe
Confederates - Army of Northern Virginia (Lee/Jackson) Union - Army of the Potomac (Hooker)
The Union army took up sold defensive positions on the high ground, forcing the Confederates to waste their efforts on futile frontal assaults.
The men on the confederate army wre gray clothes, and the union wore blue
They WERE alowed to fight, thats why the Confederates were so out-numbered.
That is probably not a question to ask on Wiki. But from me its because the union was the better side and the confederates were using their farms for battlefields.
The Union Army. wasn't it the Union Arny?
