The Confederacy was established in February 1861 when seven Southern states—South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas—seceded from the Union following the election of Abraham Lincoln. These states formed the Confederate States of America, adopting a constitution that emphasized states' rights and the institution of slavery. Jefferson Davis was elected as the Confederacy's first president. The conflict ultimately escalated into the Civil War, as the Union sought to preserve the nation.
