Question: 1 / 400

When was the Confederate States of America formed?

In February of 1787.

In February of 1861.

The correct answer is February of 1861 (option B). The Confederate States of America was formed on February 4, 1861, following the secession of seven Southern states from the United States after the election of President Abraham Lincoln. These states formed the Confederacy in response to their belief in states' rights and the protection of slavery. This event eventually led to the American Civil War, which lasted from 1861 to 1865.

Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they provide different dates that do not align with the historical timeline of the formation of the Confederate States of America in 1861.
