A nation divided, giving the metaphor of a house as a family. If a family is divided the isn't a family.

Answer 4

But wasn't the Union just the North? (thats what confused me)

Answer 5

Well. The union is supposed to be all the states united. So north and south.
But it changed a while.
South was called the confederate because they didn't want to be part of USA. So they "left" the union.
After the civil war, confederate went bye-bye, and full union is back.
