They are so cool! They really knew how to dress back in the day

@ Dreamin' Girl - America had a civil war over Slavery and whether it should exist. Northern States vs Southern States. The two groups were called The Union and the Confederacy. Sherman and Grant were two generals of the Union. All were considered Americans. These are the two Generals that Rhia is looking for. She wants the uniforms.

Slavery was an underlying element, but the key reasons were States' rights, economics and political power. After all, not everyone in the South wanted Slavery, and not everyone in the North wanted to end it. Remember, the North was mostly industrialized and the South had a lot of slaves. When Lincoln emacipated the slaves, he threw a major monkey wrench into the South's economy.
