Best Answer

Because some Northerners fought for the Confederates, and some Southerners fought for the Union.

General George Thomas of Virginia declared that he would keep to his original oath to defend the United States. His family were so ashamed that they turned his portraits to face the wall.

Philadelphia-born General John C. Pemberton had married the daughter of a Virginia planter and had become enamoured with the Southern way of life. He joined the Confederates, even though two of his brothers were officers in the Union army.
