Confederate States of America

The Confederate States of America (also called the Confederacy, the Confederate States, and the CSA) was an unrecognized state set up from 1861 to 1865 by eleven southern slave states of the United States of America that had declared their secession from the U.S. The U.S. government rejected secession as illegal, and after four years of fighting in the American Civil War, the Confederate armies surrendered, its government collapsed, and its slaves were emancipated. The CSA's control over its claimed territory shrank steadily during the course of the war, as the Union took control of much of the seacoast and inland waterways.

Secessionists argued that United States Constitution was a compact among states that could be abandoned at any time without consultation, --that is, each state had a right to secede. After intense debates and statewide votes, seven Deep South cotton states passed secession ordinances by February 1861 (before Lincoln took office as president), while secession efforts failed in the other eight slave states. Delegates from the seven formed the CSA in February 1861, selecting Jefferson Davis as temporary president until elections could be held in 1862. Talk of reunion and compromise went nowhere, because the Confederates insisted on independence which the Union strongly rejected. After the fighting began with the Confederate attack on Fort Sumter on April 12, 1861, and President Abraham Lincoln's subsequent call for 75,000 troops to recapture lost federal properties in the South, Arkansas, Tennessee, North Carolina, and Virginia also declared their secession and joined the CSA. Oklahoma informally joined, but efforts to secure secession in Missouri and Maryland failed in the face of federal military action. The government of the United States (The Union) regarded secession as illegal and refused to recognize the Confederacy. No European or other foreign nation officially recognized the CSA as an independent country, but they did allow their citizens to do business with the Confederacy. The Confederate government in Richmond had an uneasy relationship with the states, with some historians arguing the Confederacy "died of states rights" because of the reluctance of several states to put troops under CSA control.
