Neo-Confederate is a word made up by the supporters of the War for the Northern Rebellion for political purposes. They are the ones who rebelled against the Constitution, but they use language to mask their actions, much like the Federalists assigned the term anti-Federalist to those who were actually the true federalists (George Mason, Patrick Henry, etc.).

Neo-Confederate is a word made up by the supporters of the War for the Northern Rebellion for political purposes.That much is obvious, but I'm still a bit curious as to what properties a "neo-confederate" would have. Sounds to me like the term is applicable to those who wish to form a modern-day confederacy and break with the present day union. Perhaps that would be more 'neo-secessionist' which I've also seen thrown around quite a bit on these threads.
Following that logic, then a 'neo-confederate' has some association of states in mind (apart from our current one)?
