In the early 1860s, the Confederate States of America was a short-lived, upstart nation that attempted, unsuccessfully, to secede from the United States of America over the abolition of slavery. A horrific American Civil War swept across vast regions of the country, and at the end of it, over half a million Americans were dead.

Notes
- The Confederacy has been heavily romanticized and sentimentalized in many comic books. Survivors and descendants of Confederate military heroes have appeared in the adventures of Blackhawk,[1] Spy Smasher,[citation needed] Captain Marvel,[citation needed] and others. The ghost of J.E.B. Stuart, for instance, has appeared in over two hundred episodes of the Haunted Tank.
