WHAT DOES CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Confederate States of America

Confederate States of America

The Confederate States of America, commonly referred to as the Confederate States or the Confederacy, was a government set up in 1861 by seven slave states of the Lower South that had declared their secession from the United States following the November 1860 election of Abraham Lincoln. Those seven states created a new nation in February 1861 before Lincoln took office in March. After war began in April, four states of the Upper South also declared their secession and joined the Confederacy. The Confederacy later accepted two additional states as members although neither officially declared secession nor were ever controlled by Confederate forces. The United States government rejected secession and considered the Confederacy illegal. The American Civil War began with the 1861 Confederate attack upon Fort Sumter, a fort in the harbor of Charleston, South Carolina. By 1865, after very heavy fighting, largely on Confederate territory, CSA forces were defeated and the Confederacy collapsed. No foreign state officially recognized the Confederacy as an independent country, but Britain and France granted belligerent status.
