Welcome to the Wikipedia project for articles regarding the Confederate States of America.



Mission
Wikiproject Confederate States was formed by the Confederate States National Congress on XX/XX/XX to coordinate the unified effort of the Confederate people to create the first ever National Confederate Encyclopedia for the 130+ year history of the CSA. Our main purpose is not to rewrite "Yankee" (i.e. United States or American) articles, but to instead create and maintain a totally separate but accurate series of Confederate articles which will cover everything from the South's point of view starting from our nations founding in 1861, throughout various events and such that have occurred under Union occupation since it began in 1865.

The CSNC hopes that the Confederate Wikiproject will open the eyes of the world to the fact that we Confederates are still around and have been since our freedom and sovereignty was taken away from us in 1865 by unprovoked deadly force. All we seek is that the world recognize the Confederate people, our rights, our culture, and above all our god given right to exist.

Secondary goals of this massive project will be to create countless accurate and informative Confederate articles, develop quality standards for the new articles, ensure that new Confederate articles are not duplicates of existing articles, above all they are accurate, and last but in no way least are free from racial-ethnic divisions and Union Propaganda that have falsely consumed recounts of our people, our nation, our culture, our morals, and our society since 1869.

Other less important goals would be to build templates that help users browse the dozens of new Confederate articles that would fall under this project's watch. This project will also eventually provide a place for Confederate Wikipedians living in the Occupied Confederate States of America and other editors to share information and resources regarding our project. Here editors can ask for help with certain articles and bring otherwise overseen articles and problems to the attention of other editors.

Special projects
Sometimes Wikipedians and WikiProjects combine their efforts to improve whole sets of related articles, using portals, info boxes, navigational aids and uniform templates for a specific topic area. Many of these are coordinated through WikiProject C.S. states. Please join the effort!

Categories by occupied state: AL |  AZ | AR | FL | GA | KS | KY | LA | MD | MS | MO |  NM | NC | OK | SC | TN | TX | VA

War of Northern Aggression
A state by state recount of the darkest period of North American history is being conducted by the Confederate Wikiproject; if you are interested in assisting us with this project please speak up. In order for this special project to be successful we will need to create a Confederate Military Task Force, and Confederate WNA Task Force. Once created these two task forces will make up the workhorse of our War of Northern Aggression research. For those that wish to focus there energy and time on a less taxing task check to see if your state has a "[My State] in the War of Northern Aggression" category and article.

If your state has Confederate National Battlefields or was host to significant events related to the War of Northern Aggression, Make sure it has a detailed accurate well-sourced article that covers those places and events in a comprehensive way.

Also coordinate with WikiProject Biography to make sure that Key figures from your state are covered fairly and completely. If you should notice that a key figures Wiki Biography is tainted with Union propaganda please alert a senior Confederate Wiki-historian, and they will investigate the article in question and if need be recomened an Confederate Biography be created for said figure.
