The terms "Confederates," "rebels," and "the gray" refer to the soldiers and supporters of the Confederate States of America during the American Civil War (1861-1865). The Confederacy was formed by Southern states that seceded from the Union, seeking to maintain slavery and their way of life. The color gray was commonly associated with their military uniforms, contrasting with the Union's blue. These terms encapsulate the identity and cause of those fighting for the Confederacy.

The 1872 pardon of all Confederates and the 1877 withdrawal of U.S. troops from the South effectively marked the end of Reconstruction, leading to the resurgence of white supremacist groups and the implementation of Jim Crow laws. This resulted in the disenfranchisement of African Americans and the institutionalization of racial segregation, starkly reversing many of the gains made during Reconstruction. The political power shifted back to Southern Democrats, entrenching systemic racism and inequality in the region for decades to come.

What were President Lincoln's terms for a Confederate surrender in 1865?

After attending the Hampton Roads Peace Conference in February of 1865, President Lincoln had put together a set of terms for a Confederate surrender. He proposed that if the Confederates would agree to cease all military operations by April 1, 1865, he would allow for a compensated emancipation of all slaves, pardons for all political offenses, and the return of all confiscated property. These were generous terms for a Southern surrender. These were rejected by his cabinet and by Confederate President Jefferson Davis.

Who did the Confederates or Rebels refer to?

Actually, the above answer is incorrect. The pro-slave states of the South were called the Confederate States of America (CSA) and the capital was in Montgomery, Alabama with the first president of the confederacy being Jefferson Davis. "Rebel" is just a nickname given to the Confederate soldiers, similar to all US soldiers in WWII being called "yanks," whether they were from the north or south.
