In 1861, the year the US Civil War began, southern slave states that seceded from the Union formed the Confederate States of America. Often times the term of " the South " is used to describe the Confederacy.The Union was the United States, most often referred to as the Union. Also, as these states were "north" of the South, the term of North is frequently used to describe the northern states that remained loyal to the Union.
