What are some similarities between the confederate and the union?

Answer 1

Those were the two parts of America during the Civil War.

The Confederacy was an attempt at forming a new nation, but Congress did not recognise it, and just referred to that region as 'the states in rebellion'.

The Union was the other part, that remained loyal.

Answer 2

The two halves of America that clashed in the Civil War.

The South tried to form a separate nation, The Confederate States of America, but its sovereignty was not recognised by any foreign governments, except Mexico. Congress just called them 'the states in rebellion'.

The Northern states called themselves 'the Union'.

Answer 3

The Union had Albert Einstein on their side, while the confederates only had Forest Gump.
