How to Instantiate a Button in a Constructor(if possible)

Hello Everyone,

This is my first question on the unity answer forums and I've been playing around with unity for a while but the new UI features are causing some problems for me.

I am working on a game where there is a unit roster list, player clicks a button and a new unit is added to the roster. The unit is a empty game object which when constructed (should) create a child button object which players can click to access the class. The problem is that Unity.UI.Button.Button() cannot be reached because of its protection level. Here is my code when a unit is created

    class BattalionUnit{
         
     GameObject battalion;
     public Button battalionButton;
     string battalionName { get; set;}
 
     public BattalionUnit(string battalionName, Vector3 setposition)
     {
         battalion = new GameObject(battalionName);
         battalion.transform.parent = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag ("Canvas").transform;
         battalionButton = new Button ();
         battalionButton.transform.parent = battalion.transform;
 
 
         battalion.transform.position = setposition;
     }
