It should be noted that the reason why the founding of the Confederacy itself was because southern states did not accept and opposed what they perceived as "constitutional violations".

Which was nothing but a policy of abolishing the slavery practice policy after the rise of Abraham Lincoln to the presidency in 1861.
In fact, lincoln's own administration had explicitly stated that it would not start a war or carry out an attack on the Confederacy.
But it turned out that the Confederacy was the first party to start the war when the landscape - the federal stronghold of the United States was captured and controlled on the basis of claims of its location in Confederate territory.
Of course, the beginning of the U.S. Civil War arguably began when Sumter's fortifications in South Carolina were boycotted for several days by the Confederacy until it was finally overrun on April 14, 1861.
It was this attack that made the Union unwilling to exert their military power while strengthening the naval blockade to weaken the Confederacy.
Many then battles - iconic battles such as the battle of Bull Run, the battle at Gettysburg, and of course the battle of the Wilderness.
Eventually the Union was able to beat and beat the inferior Confederacy in all fields, forcing general Robert E. Lee to be besieged in Appomattox, Virginia in 1865.
Because at that time Lee's army was constantly pursued by the army of general Ulysses S. Grant who eventually managed to besiege his exhausted and outnumbered troops.
In the end Lee, who felt there was no way out and was no use in fighting again, formally signed a letter of defeat on April 9, 1865 in the presence of many United States military officials, including Grant.

Grant, who respected Lee, allowed his rivals during the war to carry horses and swords.
A few days later Lincoln was assassinated and replaced by his vice president, Andrew Johnson, who then continued the process of accepting the Confederate troops who were one - one surrendered and also the president of the Confederacy, Jefferson Davis, was arrested.
The U.S. Civil War officially ended on May 9, 1865 and the southern states that had previously decided to establish the Confederacy officially returned as a full United States or U.S. region until now.
Since the victor is the Union, it is no wonder to remain united given that there has never been any urgency or desire to separate what has so far been an integral part of the development of the colony that became the US.

The Confederacy itself can't do anything either and inevitably stays back as part of the U.S. officially held by the United States.
