When the South separated or seceded from the Union, they attempted to make their own country and they named it "The Confederate states of America."-later in the Civil War to be known as the confederates. The president at the time, Abe Lincon, did not want to accept that the Union was dividing so he called this separation from the Union illegal rebellion against the government. As Lincon sided with the Union-later known to be federals- this separation is what formed the two sides of the American Civil War.
