The Confederate States of America (CSA),commonly referred to as the Confederate States (C.S.),the Confederacy,or the South,was an unrecognized breakaway republic in the Southern United States that existed from February 8,1861,to May 9,1865. The Confederacy was composed of eleven U.S. states that declared secession and warred against the United States during the American Civil War.

The Thirteen Colonies were a group of British colonies on the Atlantic coast of North America during the 17th and 18th centuries. Grievances against the imperial government led the 13 colonies to begin uniting in 1774,and expelling British officials by 1775. Assembled at the Second Continental Congress in Philadelphia,they appointed George Washington as commander-in-chief of the Continental Army to fight the American Revolutionary War. In 1776,Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence as the United States of America. Defeating British armies with French help,the Thirteen Colonies gained sovereignty with the Treaty of Paris in 1783.
The history of Florida can be traced to when the first Paleo-Indians began to inhabit the peninsula as early as 14,000 years ago. They left behind artifacts and archeological evidence. Florida's written history begins with the arrival of Europeans;the Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de León in 1513 made the first textual records. The state received its name from that conquistador,who called the peninsula La Pascua Florida in recognition of the verdant landscape and because it was the Easter season,which the Spaniards called Pascua Florida.
East Florida was a colony of Great Britain from 1763 to 1783 and a province of the Spanish Empire from 1783 to 1821. The British gained control over Spanish Florida in 1763 as part of the Treaty of Paris that ended the Seven Years' War. Deciding that the colony was too large to administer as a single unit,British officials divided Florida into two colonies separated by the Apalachicola River:the colony of East Florida,with its capital located in St. Augustine;and West Florida,with its capital located in Pensacola. East Florida was much larger and comprised the bulk of the former Spanish colony and most of the current state of Florida. It had also been the most populated region of Spanish Florida,but before control was transferred to Britain,most residents –including virtually everyone in St. Augustine –left the territory,with most migrating to Cuba.

James Moore Sr. was a military officer and colonial administrator who served as the governor of Carolina from 1700 to 1703.

He captured and brought back to Carolina as slaves thousands of Apalachee.
The colonial period of South Carolina saw the exploration and colonization of the region by European colonists during the early modern period,eventually resulting in the establishment of the Province of Carolina by English settlers in 1663,which was then divided to create the Province of South Carolina in 1710. European settlement in the region of modern-day South Carolina began on a large scale after 1651,when frontiersmen from the English colony of Virginia began to settle in the northern half of the region,while the southern half saw the immigration of plantation owners from Barbados,who established slave plantations which cultivated cash crops such as tobacco,cotton,rice and indigo.
The Yamasees were a multiethnic confederation of Native Americans who lived in the coastal region of present-day northern coastal Georgia near the Savannah River and later in northeastern Florida.

Étienne Perier or Étienne de Perier (1686–1766),also known as Perier the Elder,was a French naval officer and governor of French Louisiana from 1726 to 1733. His time as governor included some notable achievements,including the construction of the first levee along the Mississippi River in 1727. In response to the Natchez Revolt,he attempted to completely destroy the Natchez people,which increased Native American hostility toward the French in the territory. Because he failed to secure the safety of the colony,Perier was recalled as governor in March 1733. He later distinguished himself as a naval officer and privateer,including during the capture of HMS Northumberland in 1744.
The southern theater of the American Revolutionary War was the central theater of military operations in the second half of the American Revolutionary War,1778–1781.

The prehistory and history of Kentucky span thousands of years,and have been influenced by the state's diverse geography and central location. Archaeological evidence of human occupation in Kentucky begins approximately 9,500 BCE. A gradual transition began from a hunter-gatherer economy to agriculture c. 1800 BCE. Around 900 CE,the Mississippian culture took root in western and central Kentucky;the Fort Ancient culture appeared in eastern Kentucky. Although they had many similarities,the Fort Ancient culture lacked the Mississippian's distinctive,ceremonial earthen mounds.
Louisiana was a dominant population center in the southwest of the Confederate States of America,controlling the wealthy trade center of New Orleans,and contributing the French Creole and Cajun populations to the demographic composition of a predominantly Anglo-American country. In the antebellum period,Louisiana was a slave state,where enslaved African Americans had comprised the majority of the population during the eighteenth-century French and Spanish dominations. By the time the United States acquired the territory (1803) and Louisiana became a state (1812),the institution of slavery was entrenched. By 1860,47% of the state's population were enslaved,though the state also had one of the largest free black populations in the United States. Much of the white population,particularly in the cities,supported slavery,while pockets of support for the U.S. and its government existed in the more rural areas.
