Ihave no misgivings about, or lack of confidence in the cause in which i am engaged, and my courage does not halt or falter. i know how strongly american civilization now leans on the triumph of the government and how great a debt we owe to those who went before us through the blood and sufferings of the revolution. and i am willing—perfectly willing—to lay down all my joys in this life, to maintain this government, and to pay that debt. read this excerpt from a letter by civil war soldier sullivan ballou. which cause does ballou support?

Ballou supported the Union.

Explanation:

The excerpt written by Sullivan Ballou, shown in the question above, shows how he felt in debt to those who fought during the American Revolution to create the government he knew, so it was his duty to support that government and to fight without any doubt or doubt. lack of confidence that this government would be maintained and strengthened.

These thoughts could not arise from a soldier of the Confederate cause, because Confederate soldiers believed that the government was unfair to the southern states and therefore that government should be undone and the Confederate states (the southern states) should be withdrawn of that government and create its own government.

For this reason, we can say that Sullivan Ballou supported the cause of the northern states, that is, the Union.
