They seceded in 1860 the first conflicts were in 1861 and no the north didn't recognise the C.S.A but at the time of hostilities they were technically not a part of the U.S and while slaves were a big reason there were other reasons for why they split and why the war happened. Despite the belief of the south it's a part of history and there are still many in those southern states who feel connected to that time and the confederacy and are not Nazi's or far right nutjobs at all. I get uneasy when we start messing about with any history as i feel it's a slippery slope that ends at some point with a worthless history rewritten so many times no one has any faith or belief in it.
