The official name of the seceded southern states during the American Civil War was The Confederate States of America. Established in 1861, it was a secessionist government started by seven slave states (that had declared their secession from the United States following the November 1860 election of Abraham Lincoln, whom they considered to be an abolitionist. After the beginning of the civil war, four states in the Upper South also declared secession. Although two Border States were accepted as members (Kentucky and Missouri), neither officially declared secession and were basically just factions within states that stayed loyal to the Union forces.
