what did the south rename them selves after they broke away from the union
There were several factors, the main one being slavery. Abraham Lincoln was recently elected president, and South Carolina (a slave state) believed him to be an abolitionist (someone who wants to eliminate slavery). Their agrarian economy heavily relied on slave labor, so they believed the North would eventually economically dominate the South with Lincoln as president. So they seceded, and the rest of the South followed suit.
There were many different Generals in the Civil War, but Lincoln hired all of the generals for the North who was the Union and the South who was the Confederates was mostly general Robert E. Lee. Douglas was the president of the South since the south wanted to break away from the union.
