It's a ditloid... Eleven states that split from the union.
The South (confederacy)'s goal at the start of the civil war was actually not much, other than to secede from the United States. They didn't technically want to start a war, but the North (union) decided that they didn't want the South seceding and therefore declared "war". The south wanted to secede because the Union, aka the United States before the war, had passed anti-slavery laws and the South wanted to keep them.
