The Confederate States of America (CSA), also known as the Confederate States or the Confederacy was an unrecognized breakaway republic in the Southern United States from 1861 to 1865. It comprised 11 U.S. states that declared secession: South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Texas, Virginia, Arkansas, Tennessee, and North Carolina. These states fought against the United States during the American Civil War in the wake of Abraham Lincoln's 1860 election, with the principal aim of safeguarding slavery amid fears of northern abolitionist influence and federal interference in slave property.
