The Confederacy, also known as the Confederate States of America, was located in the southern region of the United States. It was formed in 1861, with its capital in Richmond, Virginia. The Confederacy consisted of 11 states that seceded from the Union in response to the election of President Abraham Lincoln and the growing tensions over slavery.
The confederacy army surrendered on April 18, 1865, thereby ending the civil war. Slavery was abolished in Southern states, and the confederacy accepted to be part of the Union. The confederacy would not pursue secession from the Union.
Before being readmitted to the Union, each southern state that had been part of the Confederacy had to ratify the fourteenth amendment.
