Answer: A central government is the government that is a controlling power over a unitary state. ... Essentially, the central government has the power to make laws for the whole country, in contrast with local governments.

The Union strongly believed that black people were meant to have free will and fought to abolish slavery. The Union far outclassed the Confederates in manpower, resources (with the exclusion of cotton) and weapons. The Union was in control of more land and had a bigger army than the Confederates.

Answer: the Union believed in a unitary country, free from slavery and based on equal rights; conversely, the Confederates did not want to abolish slavery
