Confederate States of America

The Confederate States of America, also known as the Confederacy or the CSA, was a former nation state on Earth which existed briefly during the mid 19th century, from 1861 to 1865. The CSA was located on the continent of North America, and was comprised of former states of the United States of America which had broken away from the Union mainly because of a desire in the north to end slavery.

Soon afters founding, the CSA entered into a military conflict against the United States of America which would become known as the American Civil War. The war lasted for four years, which a recreation of former President of the United States Abraham Lincoln lamented as a bloody conflict "at the hands of their brothers." (TOS episode The Savage Curtain). Following the war the CSA collapsed, and the former Confederate states were all eventually readmitted to the Union. (Historical Accounts).
