The states of Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia were four of the thirteen original colonies to declare independence from Great Britain, and the original states of the .
=== War of "Northern Aggression" ===
Called a civil war - meaning a war between factions or regions - by the United States and most of the world, the great war was more clearly a war for independence of a new nation. Most American historians - US and CS alike - have long called it "the Second American Revolution." This fight would prove much more bloody that the first American Revolution, for the warring parties were next door and not across the ocean from one another. Railroads made travel to the battlefront a lot easier and almost instantaneous in comparison to the ships that brought troops across the Atlantic.
The roots of this rebellion reached all the way back to the founding of the original nation. Compromises were struck between the northern and southern states concerning all manner of differences, not the least of which was slavery. However, slavery remained in all the states, though concentrated in the agricultural regions of the south. As with most wars, economics held a big part in the animosity. A large portion of the founders hailed from Virginia, the first British colony in America. As a result, after some discussion, the new Federal District, called the District of Columbia, was created on the border of southern states Maryland and Virgina. The capital moved there in 1800 after George Washington had left office. Southern presidents and vice presidents would prevail for a while, but finally the economic interests of the northern states would lead to division and finally a secession movement and war.
War would officially begin when Confederate forces moved to enforce an evacuation of Ft. Sumter off the South Carolina on April 12, 1861. Losing the battle, the retreating Federal troops demonstrated to US President Lincoln (southern by birth, having moved north as a young man) that the southern states were not going to back down to their claim. And so, diplomacy would fail and almost a million men from both sides would lose their lives in what would end in an armistice over five years later.

The Confederate States of America is a federal republic made up of 21 states and one federal district. According to the Constitution, each state is sovereign in its own right, united by a single currency, president, and a federal congress.
The Confederacy was founded by seven of the newly declared independent states of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, and South Carolina.
