	Confederate States of America - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Confederate States of America (also referred to as the Confederacy, Confederate States, and CSA) was the nation formed by eleven southern states of the USA between 1861 and 1865.
		Delaware, also a slave state, never considered secession, nor did the capital of the U.S., Washington, D.C. In 1861, during the war, a unionist legislature in Wheeling, Virginia seceded from Virginia, claiming 48 counties, and joined the United States, in 1863, as the state of West Virginia, with a constitution that gradually abolished slavery.
		The Confederate Congress responded to the hostilities by formally declaring war on the United States in May 1861--calling it "The War between the Confederate States of America and the United States of America." The Union government never declared war but conducted its war efforts under a proclamation of blockade and rebellion by President Lincoln.

	Background of the Confederate States Constitution
		Under the terms of the Provisional Constitution, the Montgomery convention reconstituted itself as the Provisional Congress of the Confederate States of America until such time as a permanent constitution could be adopted and a permanent congress elected.
		The Constitution also required that all appropriations be for exact amounts and declared that there could not be "extra compensation to any public contractor, officer, agent or servant." The absolute prohibition on "impa[i]ring the right of property in negro slaves" limited the use of slaves for war activities.
		A key provision of the U.S. Constitution is the clause creating diversity jurisdiction by giving the federal courts the power to hear cases "between Citizens of different States." The Confederate Constitution lacked such a provision, which in practice meant that civil suits between citizens of different states would have to be litigated in state courts.

		As such, when the issue of a new constitution for the Confederate States arose, the form selected was that of the United States, with such changes as were necessary to the situation and, in Davis' words, to express "the well-known intent" of America's founding fathers.
		But opposing this seeming blatantcy is the fact that the CSA Constitution prohibits, in no uncertain terms, all further importation of slaves.
		Interesting because of the important times in which it played a part, the Constitution of the Confederacy is perhaps most telling in the fact that it is not so very different from that of the Union from which its namesake seceeded.
