The southern states prior to the American Civil War were often referred to as the "Confederacy" or the "Southern states." These states, including South Carolina, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Texas, Virginia, Arkansas, Tennessee, North Carolina, and Florida, seceded from the Union in 1860 and 1861, primarily over issues related to slavery and states' rights. The region was characterized by an agrarian economy heavily reliant on slave labor.
