Formation of the Confederacy

In February 1861, representatives from the seven seceded states met in Montgomery, Alabama to found the Confederate States of America. They hoped for a peaceful separation from the North. The new constitution was remarkably similar to the old one, often a word-for-word duplication. Notable changes included:

  • A presidential item veto
  • A role for cabinet officials in congressional debates
  • A prohibition of protective tariffs and federal funding for internal improvements.
