The Confederate States of America (also referred to as the Confederate States, CSA, and the Confederacy) was the government formed by eleven southern states of the USA between 1861 and 1865. These eleven states attempted unsucessfully to secede from the United States.
The United States of America ("The Union") held that secession was illegal, and refused to recognize the Confederacy or negotiate with it. The American Civil War broke out when Confederate batteries fired on the United States Army's Fort Sumter in Charleston, South Carolina, in April 1861. No European powers officially recognized the CSA but British commercial interests sold it warships and operated blockade runners to help supply it. All but two major battles took place in Confederate territory, as the CSA military was slowly overwhelmed by the much larger Union forces and choked by a naval blockade. When Robert E. Lee and the other Confederate generals surrendered their armies in the spring of 1865, the CSA collapsed, slaves were freed, and a difficult process of Reconstruction re-united the nation.
