Confederate States of America
Memory Beta, the wiki for licensed Star Trek content.
The Confederate States of America (also known as the Confederacy or the CSA) was a federal state which existed on Earth from 1861 to 1865. The Confederate States was formed by eleven states which seceded from the United States of America, in large part to preserve the institution of slavery following the election in 1860 of United States President Abraham Lincoln.
Soon after its founding, the Confederate States and the United States engaged a military conflict which would become known as the American Civil War. The war lasted for four years, which a recreation of Lincoln lamented as a bloody conflict "at the hands of their brothers." (TOS episode: "The Savage Curtain"). Upon its defeat, the Confederate States collapsed, and the seceded states were all eventually readmitted to the Union.
