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.
