The Confederate States of America downplayed the role of a central government to give more power to the individual states. This emphasis on state sovereignty was rooted in their commitment to preserving slavery and the social order it entailed, as well as their desire to maintain autonomy over local governance. Consequently, the Confederacy aimed to limit federal authority in favor of state rights, believing that local control would better serve their interests and way of life.

A Confederate Government is ruled by territories themselves. The Central Government is weak while the Territories' Governments have most of the power.
They just undergone a confederate system which gave the central government little power so they needed a stronger government.
The fear of a central government was based on the previous government of America, which was an oppressive monarchy. Americans were afraid that a strong central government would be just like being ruled by a king all over again.
The Confederate Constitution, adopted in 1861, established a government for the Confederate States of America, emphasizing states' rights and sovereignty. It mirrored the U.S. Constitution but included provisions that explicitly protected the institution of slavery and prohibited tariffs and internal improvements. Additionally, it restricted the central government's power, reflecting the Confederacy's foundational belief in limited federal authority. Overall, it aimed to create a union of states focused on preserving slavery and promoting agrarian interests.
