The Confederate States were formed through a serious disagreement with the Federal Government over what was and was not the right of each state. The Southern portion of our country tended to believe that each State was a sovereign entity that had the right to do as it wished and the Federal Government's role was extremely limited to the defense of the group. At the time of the war each state printed their own money as an example.

Use Confederate States when referring to the Confederate States of America from the US Civil War. It is a noun and a proper name so it should be capitalized as United States is capitalized. In the example: Three Confederate states did not secede from the Union until May of 1861, Confederate again would be capitalized but states would not be. This is because states in this case does not refer to the whole Confederacy. It is like: There are 50 states in the United States.
