Confederated States (Rough and Ready)

The Confederated States, or C.S, (March 5, 1857 - February 2, 1860) is a term often used by historians to describe the alliance of US states that succeed the United States during the Spring of 1857, and fought against the USA during the American Civil War.

Whilst it could be considered one nation, it is often not, as the states within the Confederacy were almost completely autonomous, and were led by their own governing bodies, and fought with their own national military. However, a common emblem found throughout the Confederacy during the American Civil War was the Southern Star Flag, the unofficial banner of the C.S, which closely resembled the flag of the Republic of West Florida.
