The Confederate States of America were an alliance of 11 southern American states who fought against the Union states in the American Civil War (1861 to 1865). General Robert Lee led the Confederate forces into battle against the armies of the Northern states, led by Abraham Lincoln. The confederate states seceded from the North after threats of ending slavery, which they viewed as a matter of states' rights that should not be enforced at the federal level.
The president of the Confederate States of America was Jefferson Davis.
