'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.

'Confederate' usually means a soldier in the army of the Confederacy, the Southern part of the United States which tied to form a separate nation in 1861, and started the Civil War.
