they are all yankees, right?

No. Based on Lego’s use of Indians (i.e. Native Americans) in the Western theme, they are not Union (“Yankee” can be meant as a disparaging slang word for Americans from Northern states and should not be used) troops. Union Troops fought in the Civil War and Lego has not done a Civil War theme. Their uniforms appear to be Calvary Troopers. If you are referring to General Custer’s unit, then they would be from the 7th Calvary.
