| | Confederate States of America - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The Confederate States of America—also referred to as the Confederate States, CSA, the Confederacy and Dixie (colloquially)—was a splinter nation off the United States of America that existed between 1861 and 1865. | | | The Confederate 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 Confederate armed forces. | | | Also, although slavery was protected in the constitution, it also prohibited the importation of new slaves from outside the Confederacy (except from slaveholding states or territories of the United States). |

| | Confederate States of America - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | A month after the Confederate States of America was formed, on March 4, 1861, Abraham Lincoln was sworn in as President of the United States. | | | Also, although slavery was protected in the constitution, it also prohibited the importation of new slaves from outside the Confederate States of America (except from slaveholding states or territories of the United States). | | | Fittingly, the Presidents of both the United States (Abraham Lincoln) and the Confederate States of America (Jefferson Davis) during the Civil War were born in Kentucky. |

| | 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. | | | 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. | | | Like the U.S. Constitution, the Confederate document had a necessary and proper clause, a supremacy clause, and a clause requiting all state officials to swear allegiance to the national government. |
