The term "rebels" typically refers to groups that oppose an established authority or government, often in a revolutionary context. In the context of the American Civil War, the Confederacy is commonly referred to as the "rebels," while the Union refers to the northern states that remained loyal to the federal government. Therefore, the Union itself is not called the rebels; rather, it is the Confederates who are referred to as such.
