Old Confederate States of America

The Old Confederate States of America, also known as the Old Confederacy or simply the Rebel States were a collection of several rebellious US states that existed centuries before the Century War. They attempted - and failed - to gain independence from the United states in the American Civil War.

The original feud between the Confederacy and the US government involved disagreements over state sovereignty and slavery, a practice that was made illegal after the government won the American Civil War.

The new Confederate States of America which ultimately did gain independence from the US named itself in honour of this older confederacy. Various identical flags and anthems were used by the modern confederacy, and critics accused the Confederates of romanticising Old Confederate practices such as slavery, although this continued to be illegal under Confederate law and was condemned by the government on multiple occasions.
