The American Civil War (1861-1865) itself did not lead to confederation; rather, it was a conflict between the Northern states (Union) and the Southern states (Confederacy) over issues such as slavery and states' rights. The Southern states seceded from the Union and formed the Confederate States of America, which was an attempt at a confederation of independent states. Ultimately, the Union's victory restored national unity and led to the abolition of slavery, but the Confederacy's existence was a direct consequence of the war, rather than a result of confederation.
They were written during the American Revolution, the final draft being drawn up in 1777.
The Civil War
The U.S. Constitution, which was not approved and implemented by the member states until 1789. From the offical end of the Revolution until then, the Articles of Confederation loosely bound the 13 independent states.This emphasis on "state's rights" was why the secessionist states of 1861 fought the Civil War as the Confederate States of America.
The United States of America were not united immediately after the Revolutionary war. The truth is the country was governed for about 12 years after the end of the war under a document called the Articles of Confederation. Its main point was that there was a weak central government and the states were gathered together as a Confederation which gave each state a major role in their own governance than the central government had. Although it did not work, and eventually the states ratified the Constitution of the United States in 1789, which made the central government strong, and the powers of the states were those not claimed by the central government in the Constitution. Some 70 years later when the 11 southern states tried to secede from the Union, it caused the American Civil War. These southern states again joined together in a Confederation trying to war against the Union. They claimed states rights which was the reason for forming the Confederate States of America, but after the end of the war they were brought back into the Union and were forced to relinquish states rights.
