Answer:

They were Punishing Confederate households for supporting the war

Step-by-step explanation:

It is difficult to judge the actions and perspectives of people in the past. As Lula Flannigan describes, Union soldiers sometimes looted households in the Confederacy. Part of the reason for doing this was to break the Confederacy's will to fight. Another probable reason was that the soldiers wanted revenge for having to fight a war. In earlier history, it was very common for an invading army to steal or destroy the goods that were in households. ~Props to the other person who got the answer first!~
