Answer:
Confederate
Explanation:
During the time that led up to the conflict known as the Civil War of America, the major cause of tension was slavery. Southern plantation owners and farmers fiercely advocated slavery because they helped with the harvest of crops and the overall southern economy. The northerners, however, resisted slavery, saying it was immorally and inhumanely wrong.
At the culmination of this tension, many southern states, led by Jefferson Davis (who later became the "president" of the Confederate states), decided to secede from the Union (break away) and establish their own entity, which they called the "Confederate States of America".
