Confederateb> States of America - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Confederateb> States of America—also referred to as the Confederateb> States, CSA, the Confederacy and Dixie (colloquially)—was a splinter nation off the United States of America that existed between 1861 and 1865.
The Confederateb> military leadership was almost entirely composed of veterans from the United States Army and U.S. Navy who had resigned their federal commissions and had been appointed to senior positions in the Confederateb> armed forces.
The Constitution specifically did not include a provision allowing states to secede, since the southerners considered this to be a right intrinsic to a sovereign state which the United States Constitution had not required them to renounce, and thus including it as such would have weakened their original argument for secession.

Patents issued by the Confederateb> Patent Office during the Civil War are not included.
In the case of the cotton gin, the patent system was immediately confronted with the reality that new innovations are not born in a state of eternal, or even temporary, perfection.
Even today, patent holders whose innovations are too easily copied will be overwhelmed by the legal costs of taking all the violators to court.

Background of the Confederateb> States Constitution

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 Confederateb> 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.
Under the terms of the Provisional Constitution, the Montgomery convention reconstituted itself as the Provisional Congress of the Confederateb> States of America until such time as a permanent constitution could be adopted and a permanent congress elected.
The Confederateb> Constitution also failed to include the phrase "law and equity" in granting jurisdiction to the national courts.
