'Confederate' usually refers to the armies of the Confederacy, and is used to designate both officers and rank-&-file.
The Southern states were also designated the Confederate States of America.
Loyal civilians would normally be referred-to as 'Confederate sympathisers' rather than Confederates.

eather the confederates or the union but i dont know NEW RESPONDENT. The Confederates.
The Union was attacked by the Confederates first, starting the Battle of Bull Run. :)
Ex-Confederates were treated fairly during Reconstruction. After the war ended, ex-Confederates who laid down their weapons were not persecuted or treated unfairly.
The Northern forces were the Federals or the Union, called Yankees by the other side. The Southern were the Confederates or Successionists, called the rebels by the other side.
