What sides fought in Civil War?

The two sides that fought in the Civil War were the North (Union) and the South (Confederacy). The North was fighting to unite the country again and to end slavery. While the South was fighting to keep slavery. The South relied heavily on slavery because many people lived on huge plantations that required much labor, so slavery was a cheap way to acquire that amount of labor that was needed. The North obviously won the Civil War. They won in April 9, 1865 after Robert E. Lee surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant.


What were the two sides of civil war fighting over?

The two sides of the American Civil War were primarily fighting over the issues of slavery and states' rights. The Northern states, known as the Union, sought to preserve the nation and ultimately abolish slavery, while the Southern states, known as the Confederacy, fought to maintain their independence and the institution of slavery. Economic differences and social structures further fueled the conflict, as the industrialized North clashed with the agrarian South. Ultimately, the war aimed to resolve deep-seated divisions over these fundamental issues.
