Confederacy may refer to:
A confederation, an association of sovereign states or communities. Examples include:
There were three successive designs that served as the official national flags of the Confederate States of America (the "Confederate States" or the "Confederacy") during its existence from 1861 to 1865.
Since the end of the American Civil War, private and official use of the Confederacy's flags, and of flags with derivative designs, has continued under philosophical, political, cultural, and racial controversy in the United States. These include flags displayed in states; cities, towns and counties; schools, colleges and universities; private organizations and associations; and by individuals.
The state flag of Mississippi features the Confederate army's battle flag in the canton, or upper left corner, the only current U.S. state flag to do so. The state flag of Georgia is very similar to the first national flag of the Confederacy, the "Stars and Bars"; a prior design incorporating the Confederate battle flag was in use from 1956 until 2001.
A last stand is a general military situation in which a body of troops holds a defensive position in the face of overwhelming odds. The defensive force usually takes very heavy casualties or is completely destroyed, as happened at Thermopylae in 480 BC, Fall of Constantinople in 1453, or Battle of the Little Bighorn in 1876.
A "last stand" is a last resort tactic, and is chosen because the defending force realizes the benefits of fighting outweigh the benefits of retreat or surrender. This usually arises from strategic or moral considerations, leading defenders to conclude that their sacrifice is essential to the greater success of their campaign or cause, as happened at the end of the Battle of Thermopylae.
The situation can arise in several ways. One situation is that retreat by the defending force would lead to immediate defeat, usually due to the surrounding geography or shortage of supplies or support, as happened to the Royalist infantry on Wadborough Hill after the Battle of Naseby.
A civil war is an armed conflict within a nation.
The term "The Civil War" redirects here. See List of civil wars for a longer list of specific conflicts.

HBO recently announced a new show called Confederate. It's an alternate history tale where the American north and south remain split apart, and slavery is still legal. It sounds like a tantalizing story. But don't tell that to the Professionally Outraged, who are more interested in censoring fiction than living in the real world. (And then there's Black America...)

MATURE LANGUAGE: Gavin McInnes of TheRebel.media talks about the Confederate flag controversy from the perspective of a Canadian immigrant to the U.S. He notes that while Canadians (and especially Quebeckers) are often focused on language, Americans are fixated on race. McInnes offers five reasons why Americans shouldn't ban the Confederate flag.
An ice cream shop owner in Orangeburg, South Carolina, a majority black town, is unable to remove a Confederate flag that flies over his business, but is located on land he doesn't own. CNN's Victor Blackwell reports.
The American Civil War was the most devastating event in United States history. It changed the entire fate of the nation, and created the America we know today. But, what if that all changed? What if instead of a Southern defeat, the Confederates won the Civil War? Using alternate history, that is a question I am to theorize about. _______________________ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/alternatehistoryhub Music by Holfix: Check out his channel! https://www.youtube.com/user/holfix
