14 Feb 1861 Jahr - The Confederate States of America were formed.

Beschreibung:

“Confederate States of America, also called Confederacy, in the American Civil War, the government of 11 Southern states that seceded from the Union in 1860–61, carrying on all the affairs of a separate government and conducting a major war until defeated in the spring of 1865” (Britannica 1). The reason these 11 states seceded in these years is due to the election of Abraham Lincoln. Another reason these slave-holding states left the Union was due to pro-slave laws not being enforced such as the Fugitive Slave Act. For many years the southern states considered making Distinct Southern Policies; when six states seceded they decided to bind together and create the Confederacy. This new nation was led by Jefferson Davis and existed from 1861 to 1865. With the secession of the southern states there was bound to be a war. In mid-April, the Confederate army had around 62,000 troops to fight in the American Civil War.
