Why would a northern soldier fight for the south during th civil war?

If he was married to the daughter of a Southern gentleman, and had adopted the Southern way of life. (e.g. the Philadelphian-born John C. Pemberton)
Also a Confederate General, John B. Gordon, claimed that a very strange effect happened in the last days of the war. At a time when the Confederates were barefoot and starving, some well-equipped and well-fed Union troops deserted to join them. It sounds as illogical as the cynical Rhett Butler suddenly joining the Confederates when they had lost all hope of winning. It may have been true, although John Gordon's writings have been judged unreliable by historians.
