The term "Confederates" refers to individuals, states, or groups allied in a confederation, most notably the eleven Southern states that seceded from the U.S. during the Civil War (1861–1865). It is used historically to describe supporters of the Confederate States of America. Benefits include preserving regional heritage for descendants, though it remains a deeply controversial symbol tied to slavery and rebellion.
