The Confederacy was a group of southern states in the US which, prior to the Civil War, practiced slavery, and which attempted in the mid 19th century to secede from the US, but which were defeated in the resulting civil war (which also brought an end to the practice of legal slavery - some forms of illegal slavery still persist).
