Confederate States of America

They were the four undecided states of the Upper South, which voted Confederate after Lincoln had appealed for volunteer troops - the nearest thing to a declaration of war on a nation he didn't recognise.

The new nation formed by the southern seceding states was called the Confederate States of America.

There are three faces on Stone Mountain in Georgia, all from the Confederate States of America:

Jefferson Davis, who was President of the Confederacy;

Robert E. Lee, who commanded the Confederate Army in the American Civil War;

and Stonewall Jackson, one of the best known Confederate commanders.

By printing Confederate dollars - not backed by gold, but only by a promise to redeem the currency when (if!) the South gained its independence.

It the Civil War in the United States, the south had 2 advantages.

First, the south did not need to win. It only needed not to lose.

Second, the south did not need to attack, it only needed to defend.

The issues that led to the secession had been festering for a long time, but it was the election of Abraham Lincoln that precipitated the secession.

I like big juicy pickles with lip gloss

The confederate army had better generals

The Confederate States had two capitol's unless you count Danville, VA and then you would have three. The first was Montgomery, AL and the second was Richmond, VA.

After Richmond was captured President Davis was in Danville for a short time.

Robert E. Lee - right at the end of the war, too late to make any difference.

Before that, the Confederate president, Jefferson Davis, had tried to replicate this role for himself, as a one-time Army officer who imagined he was a great General. Events showed that he was out of his depth in both the military and the political arena.

IF it's genuine it could be worth 5k but it has to be in good condition I am a pawn shop owner. Someone bought me a 1000$ confederate and the oldest one is worth 1.5 million. 1$ bill today in awesome condition is worth 1.50 today 50 cents more

Any Confederate paper money has to be checked by an expert to make sure it's not a copy. Until the Hobby Protection Act required the word COPY to appear on reproductions, enormous numbers of replicas were printed. Many were sold as souvenirs; in the 1920s one firm gave away high-quality photocopies as promotional items.

Jefferson Davis - not a success, partly because he had wanted to be General-in-Chief and turned out a bad chooser and user of Generals.

Mississippi seceded from the Union on January 9, 1861.

"The Republic of China"

Because Cotton was a massive export that many individuals (Great Britain and France) were using, and the CSA could produce it very inexpensively

Thr first capitol was the 'territorial' capitol at St. Stephens, located in southwest Alabama. When Alabama became a state(1819) the capitol 'provisional" (temporary--required for statehood), located at Huntsville,(extreme North section). The following year is was established at Cahawba (1820-1826).

It experienced several floods, causing the capitol to be relocated to Tuscaloosa (home of Alabama University) , where it stayed for 26 years (1826-1846). Its relocation to the current--hopefully, final-- is at Montgomery (1846-present site).

The current capitol burned-down in 1849, and was re-built in 1851. A humorous comment attribued to its many capitols: " A state with capitol on wheels".

States, especially in the South, wanted their own rights to be able to decide mainly whether or not they wanted to abolish slavery. Some states felt they were not being fairly represented or listened to, so the South seceded from the Union.

Since the Civil War ended in 1865, there are no authentic CSA coins dated 1867.

The action began as a Battle of Encounter. Neither side knew the other was there. When the South was unable to seize the high ground of the surrounding hills, it tried a Battle of Maneuver around the Union flanks. Unable to do so because of increasing Federal reinforcements, Lee attempted a Battle of Penetration, hoping to smash the Northern lines by direct assault and create a breech which he could exploit. This, too, failed, forcing Lee to make an ordered retreat back into Virginia, never to invade the North again.
