The Confederate States of America
The Confederate States of America, or the Confederacy, was a union of mainly Southern States that were rebelling against the election of Abraham Lincoln into the office of President. These states did not make a new country, but rather seceded from the United States in order to form a "confederacy" among themselves. The states that chose to secede were South Carolina, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Lousiana, Texas, North Carolina, Arkansas, Florida, Virginia, and Tennessee. The leader of the Confederate States of America was Jefferson Davis. The Confederacy chose to have a capital in Montgomery, Alabama but later moved it closer to the United States capital but choosing Richmond, Virginia. The secession from America that resulted in the Confederate States of America was a major factor in the Civil War between the Confederacy and the Union.
