An association of independent groups for stated purposes. For example, the original conception of the United States was that it would be a confederation where each state would be fully independent of the others, except for a few necessary realms of unity: military actions, diplomacy, interstate commerce, and etcetera.

They were part of a short lived country called the Confederate States of America and they fought the Union in an attempt to gain their freedom to a better representing government.
