My linage is all Blue Belly Yankees. Think the Iron Brigade from Wisconsin, among others. The Colorado militia at Gloritea Pass. My personal opinion was the war was economic. The North didn't want British imports because they couldn't compete with the quality and superior performance of British manufacturing. The South wanted to hold on to cheap labor to support their agrarian based economy and their principal customer, Britain.
