Why did the Confederate Army and the Union Army go into battle with each other?
The southern states banded together to form The Confederate States of America, and tried to secede from the union (United States of America). The northern states believed that we should remain a whole nation, the south disagreed, and so there was war. It was a terrible time for our nation. Families were torn apart, brothers shooting brothers, fathers and sons on different sides. The south was ravaged by cannon-fire, as were parts of the north. Thankfully the nation survived, and hopefully we’ve learned from our mistake.
