The Monitor was an ironclad ship created by the Union to battle against the Confederate ironclad called the Virginia (Merrimack).
The Union Ironclad Ship that was built to compete with the Confederate Ironclad was called the U.S.S. Monitor and the Confederate Ironclad was called the Merrimack (more accurately, the CSS Virginia).
The first ironclad for the Confederacy was the CSS Virginia. It had been the USS Merrimack and previously been left for "dead" when Confederate troops assaulted the Union base at Norfolk, Virginia. The Union burned it lest it fall into Confederate hands. Southern engineers salvaged the hull of the Merrimack and rebuilt it with thick iron sides, and added her with canons on each side.
it was a confederate state because the confederate capital was located there
USS Monitor, CSS Virginia was the Confederate vessel.
The Union Monitor and the Confederate Merrimack, renamed the Virginia, traded blows in Hampton Roads for several hours but neither was able to disable the other. Eventually both ships retreated to their bases, the Virginia more the worse for wear, and never met again.
The Monitor was a Union warship. It fought the Merrimac(k) and lost on March 9 1862
