The war would demonstrate that the differences between the soldiers of the two armies were remarkable:
- The Federals were more persevering, more observant of discipline, more fit to endure the good and bad luck, without being carried away or getting disheartened; more orderly, more averse from
Individualism, more compliant with the rules, able to accept sacrifices, pains and hardship, without
yielding for days, weeks and months.
- The Confederates were instead more reluctant to get disciplined; more untidy and picturesque;
richer of fierce personalities; averse from anything which would means uniformity and blind obedience. They were easier to become elated and get discouraged; maybe hostile to routine, intolerant of rules and restrictions, but ready to make overwhelming dashes to the enemy, to demonstrate sublime heroism. Furthermore, when the situation demanded it, they imposed to themselves indescribable sacrifices on their own free will.
If we can make a comparison with the two largest European armies of the time, aside from the fact that the contenders in America were free citizens and not subjects and/or mercenaries of conservative monarchies, we would say that the Confederate Army was more similar to the French Army and that of the Union to the Prussian Army.
Differences are technological in nature. The troops involved were equally heroic, the differences were national commitment, and the similarities again are that people died, children died, Families died, and military personnel died in pursuit of their nation's objectives. Differences are that deaths in Iraq continue and US deaths are rare in Vietnam.
The United States Civil war fought between the northern Union soldiers and the southern Confederate soldiers was fought from the years 1861 until 1865.
At the Battle of Fredericksburg Gen. Lee had between 75,000 and 80,000 effectives present at the battle.
Union soldiers fought for the United States during the American Civil War and were loyal to the federal government. They represented the northern states and were determined to preserve the Union. On the other hand, Confederate soldiers fought for the Confederate States of America, which was a group of southern states that seceded from the Union. They were fighting to maintain their independence and protect their way of life, including the institution of slavery.
The movie (film) "We Were Soldiers..." depicted the year 1965. The war evolved over the years into GI's depicted in Oliver Stones film, "Platoon" which took place in the late 1960's.
