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. I hope this helped
The term "Yankees" during the Civil War primarily referred to the Union soldiers and supporters from the Northern states. The conflict, which lasted from 1861 to 1865, was fought between the Union (the North) and the Confederacy (the South) over issues including states' rights and slavery. The Union victory ultimately preserved the United States and led to the abolition of slavery. Today, "Yankees" can also refer to the New York Yankees, a Major League Baseball team, but in the context of the Civil War, it specifically denotes the Northern side.

Approximately 360,000 Union soldiers died during the American Civil War.
The Yankees were the term used for the Union soldiers and supporters during the American Civil War, representing the northern states that opposed slavery and sought to preserve the United States. The Confederates were the members of the Confederate States of America, a group of southern states that seceded from the Union to maintain the institution of slavery and assert their rights. The conflict between these two groups defined the Civil War, which lasted from 1861 to 1865. Ultimately, the Union emerged victorious, leading to the abolition of slavery in the United States.

Confederate states and the union states The northern soldiers were simply called the Union (which was also the name describing the northern states), while the southern soldiers were called Confederates (after the name that described the states that broken away in 1861, the Confederate States of America.) EDIT: The soldiers of the North were known as the Yankees. They were often referred to as "Billy Yanks" by their enemies from the South. The soldiers of the South were known as the Rebels. "Johnny Rebs" became their nickname by the Union armies of the North.
