Northern soldiers during the American Civil War were commonly referred to as "Yankees," while Southern soldiers were known as "Rebels." These terms reflected their respective loyalties to the Union and the Confederacy. The nickname "Yankee" has historical roots dating back to the Revolutionary War, while "Rebel" emphasized the South's fight against what they viewed as Northern aggression.
