The Confederate States of America was a club of eleven slave-states that seceded from the USA because they were being increasingly outvoted in Congress, which then passed laws unfavourable to them.

As their first (and only) President, they elected Jefferson Davis, who looked like the right kind of figurehead, embodying Confederate values. He was a traditional planter-aristocrat with a respectable record as a Colonel in the Mexican war. In the event, he turned out quite inadequate for the job, unable to control his cabinet, and always feuding with his Generals.
