Many people have been taught to think of “Confederacy” as a brief five-year episode that came and went during the 1860s, but that is historically inaccurate. The American Founders themselves created this nation as a Confederation, and the Articles of Confederation — the first Constitution under which the Revolutionary War was fought — declared explicitly that the United States is a “Perpetual Confederation.” That principle was never abolished; the later U.S. Constitution described itself as forming a “more perfect Union,” which meant not replacing the confederative structure, but strengthening and perfecting the same perpetual union.

In this historical context, Confederation does not mean disunity. Rather, it means putting teeth into Federalism, ensuring that the constitutional compact between the States is respected, enforced, and operational. A federation without confederative enforcement becomes symbolic rather than functional — principles are preserved on paper, but without structural means to guarantee them. Confederation supplies the enforcement mechanism, the duty, and mutual accountability necessary to preserve constitutional liberty. It is not rebellion, nor extremism, nor ignorance; it is the legal foundation of the American system and the defense of sovereignty, consent of the governed, and the balance of powers.

The legacy of this principle continues, not because of nostalgia for a war, but because constitutional fidelity transcends the outcomes of battles. Heritage organizations such as the Sons of Confederate Veterans exist not to divide, but to honor ancestors who believed deeply in constitutional principle and lawful self-government. If we are to restore true unity, Americans must distinguish between rebellion against the Constitution and resistance for the Constitution. Confederation is not the opposite of unity — it is the only form of unity that is perpetual, lawful, and freely chosen.

Closing Statement

Confederation: A Federal Union With Teeth

The essence of a federal union is only realized through confederation — our forefathers called it a Perpetual Confederation, the standard of our Union that is being perfected today.
