The Union Army was fighting to preserve the federate states vs the confederate states
The Union army was fighting for the end of slavery and to unite the country again. The southern states were huge supporters of slavery, considering the fact that southerners had huge plantations which required many people to take care of the huge area, so slaves were often an option...After the southern states and northern states argued over slavery, most southern states seceded from the United States and created their own country, called the "Confederacy". Their first president was Jefferson Davis. So a civil war broke out, causing the northern states to fight the southern states.So basically the goal for the Union was to end slavery and unite the United States back together. So the Union Army was fighting for freedom...
he believed in the confederacy (the rights of southern states) and secession from the union
They fought for the United States (the Union) as opposed to the Confederate States (Confederacy.)
they were the leading commanders (ones who decided what the army did) of the union army the union army was made up of the states who did not secede
'the union' and the southern was 'the rebels'
From what I can tell he was against it and fought in the civil and was on the union side. In 1876 he made an agreement that if certain southern states voted for him he would pull the union army out of those southern states.Melvin R Dees
