A number of Southerners insist on calling the Civil War "The War Between The States." In his inaugural address, Lincoln requested the states make their militias available to the United States Army. At that point the states had to choose whether or not to make their militias available to the Union Army or the Confederate Army. Many Southerners refer to that event. The people living in the Southern Mountains and throughout much of the South sided with the Union and fought for the Union. One of the Union's greatest generals, General Thomas, was a southerner. Another of the Union's greatest generals, General Sherman, had lived much of his life in the south. The governor of Texas, Sam Houston, sided with the Union. It was a civil war.
