Union states were those that remained loyal to the United States during the Civil War, primarily in the North, while Confederate states seceded from the Union to form the Confederate States of America, largely in the South. The Union aimed to preserve the nation and abolish slavery, whereas the Confederacy sought to maintain their way of life, including the institution of slavery. The conflict between these two groups was central to the Civil War, which lasted from 1861 to 1865.
