By May of 1861, eleven slave states in the South had organized themselves into a new nation they called the Confederate States of America. They wrote a constitution making slavery legal and made secession illegal. The elected a president to serve a six year term, organized a central government in Richmond, Virginia and recruited an army and navy to protect itself from the US which did not recognize the Confederacy as a legal new government. As far as the UNion was concerned these eleven states were in rebellion against the Union ( USA).
