This secession marked the beginning of the American Civil War, as the Confederate states sought to establish themselves as a separate nation. The CSA was made up of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia.
The Confederate States of America.
In 1861, eleven southern states seceded from the Union and formed the Confederate States of America. This action was primarily driven by disputes over states' rights and the institution of slavery. The Confederate States aimed to establish an independent nation separate from the United States, leading to the outbreak of the Civil War.
James Madison advocated for southern interests by emphasizing that enslaved individuals, though not considered full citizens, were still a form of property that contributed to the economic wealth of the southern states. He argued that counting enslaved people for representation would balance the political power between northern and southern states, addressing concerns that other forms of property, such as land or wealth, were not being factored into representation calculations. This position sought to ensure that the political influence of slaveholding states was preserved in the new government structure.
