The Confederate states of America

Explanation:

on February 1861 the seven (7) southern states of Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, south Carolina, Texas, Louisiana, seceded from the United states of America to form their own independent republic which they will call the Confederate states of America.

this secession was caused mostly because the Northern states did not support slavery due to the state rights , just like the south and the south decided to secede to form their own republic and this eventually gave birth to the civil war.

the first two years of american revolution was not very encouraging for the patriots since the british were far superior in sea power, arms and troops.

a slave could own nothing, he can't have a wife, children, or a home. they cant possess nothing and acquire nothing. hope this
