There were different reasons why some joined. The slaveholders could not afford to lose their slaves, so they joined for that reason. Some average joe's joined because they thought that the north could not stand seeing the south get so prosperous. Some just joined because they did not like President Lincoln. bye friends!!!!!!

Many Northerners moved to the South during the Reconstruction Era because of the unfair treatment they got south. Also because the northerners had many occupations for them unlike the southern jobs.

some went there to profit, and some were union soldiers who had grown to love the south's rich land.
