The term "Yankees" or "Yanks" typically refers to people from the northern United States, particularly during the Civil War era when it was used to describe Union soldiers and Northerners in general. In contrast, "Southerners" refers to those from the southern states, which were part of the Confederacy. The distinction remains in cultural and historical contexts, with "Yankee" often carrying connotations of Northern identity.
