The Confederate States of America (also called the Confederacy, the Confederate States, and CSA) was the government formed by eleven southern states of the United States of America between 1861 and 1865. However, since the CSA was never recognized by other countries, by international law and custom, it was never a de jure independent country. Its de facto control over its claimed territory varied during the war, and was linked to the fortunes of its military in battle.

Can you give me a modern example of 'de facto' government?

The Latin phrase 'de facto' means 'in or according to fact'. The phrase 'de jure' means 'in or according to law'. In terms of government, a 'de jure' government describes a government that's recognized by and in accord with legal standards and systems. A 'de facto' government describes the government that actually is operating and being respected as the ruling body. Ideally, the two phrases describe the same government in the same area. For example, the Taliban became the 'de facto' and the 'de jure' government in much of Afghanistan for the time period 1996-2001. Prior to and since those years, the Taliban has been the 'de facto' but not the 'de jure' government in areas where its supporters, representatives and organizers hold power.
