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...
