Back then in America, there was slavery. Although the North had slavery as well, the South treated their African American slaves poorly. This influenced the North to go against slavery, and the South split off temporarily. Then, the two territories went to war with each other, known as the Civil War, and the Union (North) defeated the Confederates (South), causing them to reunite. Slavery was abolished after that.

The US officially split during the Civil War in 1861. The southern states did secede from the Union, being the United States. When a secession occurs there is a withdrawl from the original entity. Thus forming the Confederate States of America whose president was Jefferson Davis. The United States, of course, at the SAME time was run by President Abraham Lincoln.
