The Civil War – One nation, TWO cultures The Union The Confederacy To the North, it was seen as treason – “The War of The Rebellion” – not a “civil” war at all. The South did NOT have the right to leave the “Union” of the United States for ANY reason. The North was industrial, supportive of the tariff. To the South, it was a matter of the rights of the states – in fact, to them, it was “The War Between the States.” They believed a state had the right to leave the US and become its own nation or join another! The CSA was agrarian society. The Federals The Rebels
