First, the term 'America' refers to the entire western hemisphere. 'America' includes the continents of North America and South America. During the Civil War, the United States of America continued to exist. The North was referred to as the 'Union' and the South was referred to as the 'Confederacy.' The United States of America refused to recognize any right of a state to secede from the Union, and thus did not recognize the Confederacy.
