The Origin of the Confederate States of America

In February 1861 seven

south - southern

cotton states , South Carolina,

Missipi - well, isn't that word a little longer? 4 is, 4 ps, 

Florida, Alabama, Lousiana, Georgia and Texas,

disassociated - better still: segregated  or secededtheirselves themselves

from the Union.These seven states formed the Confederate States of America after the attack on Fort Sumter.

and Jefferson Davis was their first president. - this should be a phrase of its own.

The bombardment and capitulation on Fort Sumter actually was the reason for the American Civil War. Afterwards President Lincoln called for an volunteer army from each state.Thereupon four more states , Virginia, Arkansas, North Carolina and Tennesse, declared their seperation within two months. That's how the Confederate States

originated - better: were founded or came into being.
