Get the Confunted mug.A rebellion led by rich, southern plantation owners and politicians against the Federal Government of the United States of America.
The main cause of this rebellion was, first and foremost, slavery. The Union (another name for the U.S) was slowly becoming more and more abolitionist in the 1800's, and as a result the Southern elite felt the need to disregard any basic human decency they had left and fight for the enslavement of millions of African Americans. This was the main reason the Southern states seceded. Things like "States rights" and tariffs are secondary reasons and were very minimal compared to slavery.
In late 1860, numerous states in the deep south announced their secession from the Union after the election of Abraham Lincoln. Despite being an abolitionist, Lincoln pledged not to interfere with slavery in the South. The southern elite, however, ignored this and militias fired on numerous federal forts and properties throughout 1861, one such being Fort Sumter in North Carolina, which marked the beginning of the American Civil War.
The war would go on for 4 years, ending in 1865 with General Lee's surrender to General Grant.

Look at those idiots waving the confederate flag. I bet they couldn't even spell "Confederate States of America".

Get the Confederate States of America mug.Related Words
A flag that's usually flown in the south, most of the time flown to represent southern pride and heritage, but sometimes is flown to represent white power and racism.
"Those who fly the Confederate Flag for southern pride are cool, those who fly it for white power should be sodomized by hitler down in hell."

Get the confunked mug.A mixed drink containing 1 part whiskey 1 part Kahlua 2 parts cream.
Confederate is a mixed drink containing everything the south claims to be. North America's favorite alcohol, combined with a Latin cordial, and dominated by something extremely white. The actual flavor comes from something far more black then they care to admit...
