The union of Southern states during the US Civil War was named "The Confederate States of America".
The Civil War was fought because a group of states in the southern US wanted to split away and form a new nation that would be run the way they wanted. The 11 Southern states the broke away (or seceded) were known as the Confederate States. The Union were the remaining states within the United States that fought to keep the southern states as part of the country.
The Civil War was different because the other wars had happened with other countries and this war happened between the Northern and Southern states in America, the same country. The country started to fall apart, kinda like the economy today. During the war, the southern states separated themselves from the rest of the US and became the Confederate States of America. They considered themselves a separate country, but both the Union and the Confederates were still American.
They were and it was in the civil war when the southern states secceded from the union and they became their own country and tried to end the United States if they had defeated us there would be slavery and what ever else they planned
AS YOU CAN SEE, NOT MANY STATES JOINED THE SOUTHERN STATES. MANY JOINED THE NORTHERN STATES !
