On February 8, 1861, the six secessionist states—Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, and South Carolina—together formed the Confederate States of America. This new nation was established in response to their opposition to the federal government's policies and the election of Abraham Lincoln. The Confederacy aimed to preserve the institution of slavery and maintain states' rights, leading to the Civil War.
