To defeat the rebel forces and restore the Union.
There were 19 states in the Union.
On April 12, 1861, Southern forces opened fire at Fort Sumter. The bombardment lasted a day and a half. Finally, on April 13, 1861 and after 36 hours of shooting, the forces at the fort surrendered to the Confederates.
The Confederates outnumbered Union forces on several occasions during the Civil War, notably at the First Battle of Bull Run in July 1861, where Confederate troops had a numerical advantage. Another significant instance was during the Battle of Chancellorsville in May 1863, where Confederate General Robert E. Lee's forces, numbering around 60,000, faced a Union army of about 100,000 but managed to achieve a decisive victory despite being outnumbered. However, the Confederates did have numerical superiority in some battles, especially in the early years of the war.
