I think that most people at this time in history would agree that slavery was a bad thing, and therefore it was good that the institution of slavery was brought to an end by the victory of the northern states. However, the Civil Was was tremendously destructive, so it could be argued that the price paid for the ending of slavery was too high. In theory, there might have been non-violent means to resolve the issue. We will never really know.
Civil War War Between The States War of Southern Rebellion War of Northern Aggression
The Union were the northern states and the Confederate States Army were the south.
Assuming that you mean the Civil War that took place in the United States - two alternate names are The War Between the States, and the The War of Northern Agression.
During the Civil War, the northern states referred to the southern states as the "Confederacy." This term represented the group of eleven southern states that seceded from the Union to form their own government, known as the Confederate States of America. The northern states, often called the Union, viewed the Confederacy as a rebellion against the federal government.
It depends which civil war
The northern states in the US Civil War called themselves "The Union."
The Northern States ;)
The northern states, or the union, won the civil war because the southern states, or confederate, surrendered after a great number of soldiers were lost.

The Civil War a.k.a. "The War Between The States"
At the time of the war, the northern states referred to it as the "War of Southern Secession;" at the same time, southern states referred to it as the "War of Northern Agression." More people in the North started referring to it as the Civil War following the Gettysburg Address.
The Civil War ran from April 1861 to April 1865.
The Civil war was was fought between the Northern and Southern states. It was fought mainly over slavery and the fact that Southern (agricultural) states were being neglected by Northern (industrial) states.
Slavery was not legal in the Northern states during the Civil War. The Northern states had already abolished slavery before the outbreak of the war, while the Southern states still allowed slavery. This stark division between free and slave states was one of the key factors leading to the Civil War.
