Why did sullivan ballou serve in the union army?

To maintain the government that men 100 years previous had fought and died to create. Many people ignorantly think that the Union was fighting to end slavery. No. That was one of the many reasons they were fighting the Confederacy. The number one reason was to preserve the United States and prevent secession from ripping the country in half.


What were the names of the army's that fought in the civil war?

The northern army was the US Army. The southern army was the Army of the Confederate States. Actually though, the southerners intended to create a "regular" army just like the northern one, but never really got around to it, with just a few hundred officers holding commissions as regular officer of the ACS, and only a few thousand men enlisted in "Confederate" regiments. Most regiments, north and south, were raised by the states, and were not considered part of the regular army. Southern units like this were part of the "Provisional Army of the Confederate States" (PACS) and northern units were "US Volunteers" (USV). Each side had several field armies, intended to operate in a certain area. The southerners named theirs after geographic areas, the northerners named theirs after rivers, or the most prominent body of water in its area of of operations. The most famous southern armies were the Army of Northern Virginia (commanded by Robert E. Lee) and the Army of Tennessee, which had several commanders. Northern armies included the Army of the Potomac (opposed Lee), the Army of the James, the Army of the Tennessee, the Army of the Cumberland, the Army of the Ohio, and others.

Who were the The die-hard Federalists who organized a scheme to break away from the Union and create a northern confederacy in 1804?

The Essex Junto was a group of lawyers and merchants from Essex County, Massachusetts. These Federalists supported Alexander Hamilton and the Massachusetts radicals. When Hamilton was offered a place in the plot to secede New England from the Union, he denied the offer. Consequently, the Essex Junto tried to vie support from Aaron Burr, who also rejected the offer from the Junto. The first attempt to break off New England from the Union failed since it was unable to gain support from the major power brokers in the state of New York.

Is the confederacy the same as the federalists?

No. The Confederacy based their ideology on Thomas Jefferson, who was a Democratic-Republican, a liberal. Also, since the Whig party had died out, especially in the South, most Confederates were Democrats. Federalists were conservatives. Where you are probaby confused is in accounts in which Confederates are noted as also following Washington, whom some history books label as a Federalist. It is true that the Confederates also looked to Washington, but, while he may have had some right wing leanings, he was against political parties and not really a Federalist. The political doctrine of the Confederacy was to restore the original plan of unique American democracy through states rights, rather than a domination of industrializing northern states and the strong federal government they were trying to create, via more representation in the House (hense the 3/5th rule) which obviously would have been in their favor. The Federalists were in favor of strong federal government. You might want to read about the debates between Jefferson and Alexander Hammilton regarding interpretation of the Constitution.

What was one difference beween the ani-federalists and the federalists?

The Anti-Federalists opposed the new U.S. Constitution for numerous reasons. They distrusted large, powerful national governments and believed liberty could only be protected in small republics in which the rulers were closely checked by the public. They believed a large nation could best be governed by a confederation, with local governments having the most control. Federalists favored a strong national government with supreme power over state governments. Leaving too much power in the hands of the states would only create another confederacy type of government with little power to act. The rights of citizens would be protected from the government via legislation, the courts, and the Bill of Rights. Federalists distrusted the masses to select the best candidates so they made only the House of Representatives directly elected by the people.
