No, confederate is almost like the opposite of yankee. During the civil war the southern states formed the Confederate States of America, while the northern states stayed the United States of America. The term for the northern troops was Yankee, and the term for the southern troops was confederate or rebel depending on which side you're on.

What is another name for the Northern states?

Another name for the Northern states is the "Union," particularly during the American Civil War when they fought against the Confederate states of the South. These states were primarily characterized by their opposition to slavery and their industrialized economies. The term "Yankees" is also commonly used to refer to Northerners, especially in a historical context.


Facts about Yankees in the civil war?

The Yankees are the Union. They are not the ones who left the United States. The Confederate did that. The most known Union general is Ulysses S. Grant. The most known Confederate general is Robert E. Lee ( I know you are not asking for facts on the Confederate, but i'm just trying to help you out.) The Yankees usually come into battle with more energy and more people. The Yankees won the Battle of Shiloh, Vicksburg, and Gettysburg. Remember, the United States are the Yankees.

What is another name for the southern states before the civil war?

Another name for the southern states before the Civil War is the "Confederate States" or simply the "South." These states seceded from the Union and formed the Confederate States of America in 1861, primarily to preserve the institution of slavery and their way of life. The term "Dixie" is also commonly used to refer to this region during that era.
