Use Confederate States when referring to the Confederate States of America from the US Civil War. It is a noun and a proper name so it should be capitalized as United States is capitalized. In the example: Three Confederate states did not secede from the Union until May of 1861, Confederate again would be capitalized but states would not be. This is because states in this case does not refer to the whole Confederacy. It is like: There are 50 states in the United States.
