The Yankees are the Union. They are not the ones who left the United States. The Confederate did that. The most known Union general is Ulysses S. Grant. The most known Confederate general is Robert E. Lee ( I know you are not asking for facts on the Confederate, but i'm just trying to help you out.) The Yankees usually come into battle with more energy and more people. The Yankees won the Battle of Shiloh, Vicksburg, and Gettysburg. Remember, the United States are the Yankees. I hope this helped
Approximately 360,000 Union soldiers died during the American Civil War.

Houston refused to take the oath to the Confederacy, he did not support the abolitionist cause, owned slaves and supported the Union. He also refused an offer by Lincoln to send in an Army to support him. He loved and supported Texas as well as the Union, and he strongly believed that the industrial might of the Yankees would win the war.
