Secession.
there isn't really a name for them, they are like any state but they have slavery. you could call them southern slave states or slave states, or southern states...... there is no definition for slave states that didnt secede proir to the civil war
The upper southern states seceded when Lincoln was elected president of the United States.
AS YOU CAN SEE, NOT MANY STATES JOINED THE SOUTHERN STATES. MANY JOINED THE NORTHERN STATES !
The Civil War was different because the other wars had happened with other countries and this war happened between the Northern and Southern states in America, the same country. The country started to fall apart, kinda like the economy today. During the war, the southern states separated themselves from the rest of the US and became the Confederate States of America. They considered themselves a separate country, but both the Union and the Confederates were still American.
The Confederate States of America
The Northern states called themselves the Union and the Southern states named themselves the Confederacy (The Confederate States of America).
It was the Southern states that 'formed separately' by breaking away as the Confederacy. The North was what was left. They didn't call themselves the North. They called themselves the Union.
Southern states that seceded from the Union called themselves the Confederate States of America (CSA). This new government was formed in 1861 and was comprised of eleven states that sought to maintain slavery and assert their rights against what they perceived as Northern aggression. The Confederacy existed until its defeat in 1865 during the Civil War.
The seven Southern states called themselves the Confederate States of America. The Confederate States of America existed from 1861 to 1865.
