Confederate States of America

The Confederate States of America (CSA), commonly referred to as the Confederacy or the South, was an unrecognized breakaway republic in the Southern United States that existed from 1861, to 1865. The Confederacy comprised eleven states that declared sucession against the United States.
== Description ==
The Confederacy was established in February of 1861 by seven states (Texas was later added before Lincoln's election). Following the 1860 Presidential Election, no other Southern state had considered the question until the next year. They had their own military, their own Constitution, and their own Congress. The UK and France granted the country belligerent status, but no other country recognized the country as an independent country.
