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.
