To be a Confederate meant to align oneself with the Confederate States of America, a group of southern states that seceded from the Union during the American Civil War (1861-1865). Confederates generally supported the preservation of slavery, states' rights, and a distinct Southern identity. The ideology was rooted in the belief that the federal government was overreaching in its authority, particularly regarding social and economic issues. This alignment often involved deep-seated cultural and regional pride, which played a significant role in shaping the war's motivations and aftermath.
