What state were fighting for the north during civil war?

all the northern state


What were the sides fighting about during the civil war?

The sides in the American Civil War were fighting about the issue of slavery and its expansion into new territories. The Northern states, known as the Union, wanted to abolish slavery and preserve the United States as one nation. The Southern states, known as the Confederacy, wanted to protect their right to own slaves and establish an independent nation.


Was the civil war fought mainly on northern territory?

No. It was almost on Southern soil - which kept up Confederate morale, as they felt they were fighting to defend the homeland from the invader. The only battle on Northern soil was Gettysburg, where Lee managed to invade Pennsylvania, before being defeated and retreating home to Virginia.


Why were the confedaracy and the union fighting?

They south was fighting to gain independence. The north was fighting to preserve the union. Slavery was a big issue during the civil war. The southern economy relied on slavery, without it the southern economy would have collapsed. The northern economy was threatened by slavery. After the south began using slaves in factories, the north became increasingly hostile to the south and slavery because southern factories used slave labor which allowed them to produce cheaper goods. The use of slaves in factories threatened northern economy. Many historians believe that this economic threat lead to the civil war.


How did the northern industry affect the south?

Before the civil war it didn't affect the south, but after the war began the north had all the industrial growth and could produce things needed for fighting a war.
