Neo-Confederates are groups and individuals who portray the Confederate States of America and its actions during the American Civil War in a positive light. The League of the South (formed in 1994), the United Daughters of the Confederacy (formed in 1894), the Sons of Confederate Veterans (formed in 1896), and other neo-Confederate organizations continue to defend the secession of the 11 Confederate States.
