There were many reasons that led men to join the Northern and Southern armies during the US Civil War. Here is a list of reasons:
* They fought to keep the United States in tact. They believed that two separate "Americas" would be weaker than a united US;
* They fought for independence, believing that the South would be marginalized if it continued to remain part of the United States;
* They fought either to continue slavery or help to abolish it;
* Freed slaves fought as Union soldiers to help defeat the slave holding Confederacy;
* Some fought because they were drafted into each army; and
* Some fought to be loyal to their respective states, whether they owned slaves or not. This was a small segment of the Confederate army.
