The sides in the American Civil War were fighting about the issue of slavery and its expansion into new territories. The Northern states, known as the Union, wanted to abolish slavery and preserve the United States as one nation. The Southern states, known as the Confederacy, wanted to protect their right to own slaves and establish an independent nation.
