In U.S. history, there are two Articles of Confederation. The first was formed after the American colonists declared their independence from Britain and created their own government; the second when the southern states seceded from the North. In the second Articles, there was no event that proved they weren't working. They ceased to exist when the South lost the Civil War. The first failed mainly because there wasn't written into it a system of taxation that was equitable for the country to maintain a government, a military, and a presence on the world stage. After the War of Independence, the founders of the country decided that rather than revise the Articles of Confederation, they would rewrite a new Constitution, taking into account what they had learned after many years of war and independent governance.
