The Sides

Union soldiers wore uniforms that looked like this. The Union Soldiers were soldiers bielieved in a nation with no slavery and good economics.

Confederates wore uniforms the looked like this. The Confederate soliers bielived that slavery was nececassary and was okay. They however, did not like the way that the northerners were treating them in the economical issues-the economic reason for the civil war was the taxes on imported and exported goods. The tariffs that the national government put on imported and exported goods affected the Southern economy, but benefited the Northern economy. This helped escalate tensions between the Union and the Southern states.
