Capitalize "Confederate" when referring to the Confederate States of America during the American Civil War or when it is part of a proper noun, such as Confederate Army or Confederate flag. Otherwise, use lowercase when referring to a general group or concept that is not specifically related to the historical Confederacy.

It's capitalized when used as a proper name. For example, if you want to talk about the government founded in the south during the U.S. Civil War, you would say Confederate States.
