Personally, I've always been drawn to the Confederacy only because I really admire the individual Confederate soldier. Their desire, heart and unflinching loyalty to their command are great. Politically? I'm Union of course.

British Empire ftw!
Do you have enemies? Good, that means you´ve stood up for something, sometime in your life.

Confederate - People assume the confederates only purpose and reason for going to war was that they believed black people were inferior; it wasn't. They went to war to protect their people, take away their slaves and take away their main economy fund. They fight with what they could gather together, boys took up arms with their fathers.

I would fight for the Union, because my family has lived in the north its entire time here lol.

Plus, although some people say that the CSA had just cause, I believe that Lincoln was right in saying that a house divided cannot stand.

i currently reside in the North and believe in the Union's cause. But I have made a confederate regiment for a few reasons: I like their uniforms, I like being a rebel, I like the rustic look, I need to satisfy the amount of right-wingers I have in my regs.
Fuck off, Nazi scum

You disgust me. They went to war politically and economically. After Abraham Lincoln become president, they thought the Republicans were gonna outlaw slavery. Because Lincoln outlawed expansion of Slavery, some people thought that the State government should decide between Slave states and Free states. Then when Lincoln called for the different states of the Union to raise armies in order to fight the rebels of the states that had pulled out, more states left the Union. It was because these states had left the Union, and that it was seen as an open act of rebellion, that the War of Northern Aggression was started.

Not as if the Confederate States would manage their own economy... Barely any industry.
Same counts for the North though, Barely any agriculture.

Ill stand by the Union with billy barlow!
Of course, I also think lines should be able to move in double rank without having emotional breakdowns.

I voted Confederate because State Right Swagg.

Honestly if "both" was a option, id go for it. I admire the Confederacy for its uniform and their bravery against odd.

I too, admire the union for its dedication to preserve the union. (Western Federals "Billy's Boys" are 10x better :P )

Why does only the Confederates get props for bravery? I know no braver soldiers than the Federals at Fredricksburg
