The southern states formed a confederation and split from the union to show their discontent with the slave policies. They wanted to keep slaves and the northerners wanted the emancipation of slaves without compensation (which would result in a major loss for the economy of the south).

In what form of government are states loosely united for a common purpose?

In a confederation, states are loosely united for a common purpose while maintaining their individual sovereignty and independence. This form of government allows member states to collaborate on specific issues, often related to defense or trade, but they retain the authority to govern themselves. Confederations typically have a weak central government, relying on the voluntary cooperation of the member states. Examples include the early United States under the Articles of Confederation and the European Union in certain contexts.


A loose union of independent states?

If such independent states are coming together to form a larger political entity, this is generally known as a Confederation. Individual states retain full sovereignty, but operate together for the collective good for purposes of things like economic policy, foreign policy, military coordination, etc. If they are not forming a larger political entity, then it is simply an Alliance. Typical of such an entity is NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Alliance, which is a mutual defense pact for its members.
