Confederate Army

The Confederate States of America also known as the Confederacy or rebels was a pre-War organization.

Background
The first land battle of the war happened near Philippi, Virginia, where on June 3, 1861, the Union planned a pre-dawn assault on the Confederates, which resulted in their retreat. A battlefield cemetery was subsequently established on the site.

In Point Lookout, various references to the Confederacy and the American Civil War can be found. Confederate hats and rifles are still very common finds and the natural bio-gas that is released from the ground comes from the bodies of soldiers, who were buried and covered in lye during the Civil War.

In the pre-War western film Last Stand at Fort McGee, the Fightin' Furies had to face members of the Confederate army.

When Roger Maxson records his own thoughts on declaring his unit to have seceded from the union, he mentions Confederate president Jefferson Davis, and says that, "they remember Jefferson Davis. What will history say about me?" In the Pioneer Scout badge exam, one of the questions asks "Which cipher, named for a French diplomat, was used by the Confederacy during the Civil War?"

Appearances
The Confederate States of America are mentioned in Fallout, Fallout 3 and its add-on Point Lookout, the Fallout 4 add-on Far Harbor, and Fallout 76.
