Best Answer

The Confederate States of America (also called the Confederacy, the Confederate States, and CSA) was the government formed by eleven southern states of the United States of America between 1861 and 1865. However, since the CSA was never recognized by other countries, by international law and custom, it was never a de jure independent country. Its de facto control over its claimed territory varied during the war, and was linked to the fortunes of its military in battle.
