English Synonyms and Antonyms
confederacy
Alliance is in its most common use a connection formed by treaty between sovereign states as for mutual aid in war. Partnership is a mercantile word; alliance chiefly political or matrimonial. Coalition is oftenest used of political parties; fusion is now the more common word in this sense. In an alliance between nations there is no surrender of sovereignty, and no union except for a specified time and purpose. League and alliance are used with scarcely perceptible difference of meaning. In a confederacy or confederation there is an attempt to unite separate states in a general government without surrender of sovereignty. Union implies so much concession as to make the separate states substantially one. Federation is mainly a poetic and rhetorical word expressing something of the same thought, as in Tennyson's "federation of the world," Locksley Hall, l. 128. The United States is not a confederacy nor an alliance; the nation might be called a federation, but prefers to be styled a federal union.

How to use CONFEDERACY in a sentence?
When a true genius appears in the world, you may know him by this sign, that the dunces are all in confederacy against him.
If the Daughters of the Confederacy, if they had a lot or somewhere they want to take those, that would be great -- or maybe Fort Fisher.
When the Confederacy broke away, one of the first things that the Confederate Congress did was pick a flag, there was a big debate, and the debate centered on how close the flag should look to the American flag. They held a contest, and took votes, and what did they do ? They picked a flag with red and white stripes and stars.
A part of this is the Confederacy and the fact that these individuals not only fought violently to overthrow the United States government, but quite frankly, fought in favor of continuing the institution of slavery, which has had a direct impact on the lives and minds of Hispanic Americans, so it is almost like a microaggression.
Black Americans in the former Confederacy lived in a terroristic society at least until 1965, when the Voting Rights Act was signed into law, but then you also had the Redneck Shop, which glorified hate and showed what Black Americans had to deal with in rural areas in the'90s and on.
