The Confederacy ended on June 23,1865 when the last Confederate General surrendered his Army. The claim that the confederacy ended on May 9,1965 is ridiculous as nearly 100,000 rebel troops were still fighting at that time. 75.244.119.96 (talk) 13:28, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That was when the war may have ended, but the confederate government declared itself out of existence in May. That people kept fighting doesn't change that fact. Fighting for a ghost doesn't make the ghost alive. --Golbez (talk) 14:00, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Uuum, actually, thats exactly what that means. The fact that there were STILL men fighting. Men who considered themselves to be and who were, the Confederacy. So, you're wrong.

Just because certain people declared the fact that they gave up, does not mean that which they were once apart of is gone.

They simply weren't apart of it anymore.

And clearly, there was still a rather large contingency that was still fighting the good fight and who were all members of the confederacy who had yet to admit defeat.

Just because a no good, weak minded political fool aka a Politician, decides to abandon his principles, his morals, and his constitutes and just leaves one day doesn't mean the entire system he was elected to serve also goes away with him. 172.56.105.98 (talk) 10:12, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Respectfully, not a chance. By that logic, the Confederation never died, because there were always people who believed in "The Cause". So why end it in June 1865? I support the May 1865 date. Place Clichy (talk) 13:00, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The clear answer to this would be to also include the fact that rebels were still fighting after the war, and not change the end date from when the organization of the Confederacy stated their own end. This way, readers learn the nuanced end. 104.148.215.149 (talk) 05:32, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

the term depicting the border states as "Northern" is wrong and should be redacted. At no point were the border states considered Northern. They were by all means still Southern, in Kentucky's case in particular which had both a Unionist and Confederate state governments and was by all respects no different than North Carolina or Tennessee culturally, geographically, or demographically, and having a Southern plantation economy, and was considered an equal member state by the CSA, multiple sources confirm KY as Southern throughout. Missouri is also another case of having a Unionist and Confederate state government and still considered Southern as done so in Lloyd's map. At the very worst they were the Border South.
