Confederate soldiers were members of the military forces of the Confederate States of America during the American Civil War (1861-1865), primarily fighting to maintain their way of life, including the institution of slavery, and to assert their states' rights. Union soldiers, on the other hand, were part of the United States Army, fighting to preserve the Union and ultimately to abolish slavery. The conflict between these two groups was rooted in deep-seated political, social, and economic differences between the North and South.
