Confederate soldiers were commonly referred to as "Rebels" or "Johnny Rebs." The term "Rebel" was used both by themselves and by their opponents during the American Civil War. They fought for the Confederate States of America, which seceded from the Union in 1861. The nickname reflects their stance against the federal government and their fight for states' rights and slavery.
