When the South separated or seceded from the Union, they attempted to make their own country and they named it "The Confederate states of America."-later in the Civil War to be known as the Confederates or Confederacy. The president of the US at the time, Abraham Lincoln, did not want to accept that the Union was dividing so he called this separation from the Union illegal rebellion against the government. The Confederates were often referred to as the insurgents.
