Blue Vs. Gray The Civil War

Why were the sides called blue and gray? Did everyone agree on the issues that they were fighting against? Who were the kinds of people that fought in the war? Were there any famous battles during this war? If so, why? Who were famous people of this war? Why did they become famous? Why The Civil War? 

 //“Northern abolitionists probably exaggerated the physical cruelties that the Southern masters inflicted upon their slaves. Southern “fire-eaters” doubtless distorted the true character of Northern Yankees. Politicians in both sections kept the country in constant turmoil by and whipped up popular emotions for the selfish purpose of winning elections. Pre-Civil War political leaders were unusually incompetent … their exaggeration of sectional differences, their invention of alleged fictitious issues, created a crisis that was highly artificial …” (79)//

I agree most with this cause. The northern abolitionists and the southern rebels are the greatist danger that we should have. They will do anything for people to see that they are right and the others are all wrong. They get you to think exactly what they want, to a point where we are not be able to think for ourselves.
