Gettysburg was the only battle fought in Pennsylvania. And Antietam (Sharpsburg) was the only significant battle fought in Maryland. Every other battle of any consquence was in Southern territory.
So few battles were fought on the northern soil because of the defensive strategy carried on by the Confederacy. Furthermore the main objective of the Federal Government were the restoring of the Union and that meant that the Northerners had to defeat and erase the Confederacy, thus compelling them to invade and conquest the Rebel's territory.
The United States Civil war fought between the northern Union soldiers and the southern Confederate soldiers was fought from the years 1861 until 1865.
We fought each other. That's why it is called a "civil" war. The southern states fought the union. the people who fought in the civil war were people like Rosa park and Martin Luther king to fight for difference and freedom to show that black and white people to mix and to try and persuade people that black people are the same as white people.
It was mostly fought in the south with the exception of Gettysberg.
