Federalism in the Confederate States

Federalism in the Confederate States is the developing relationship between State governments and the general government of the Confederate States. Since the founding of the former United States of North Aegea and particularly with the end of the North Aegean War and the establishment of the Confederate States, power has greatly shifted away from the general government and back towards the States, increasing the scope of government accountability and responsible government at all levels of government throughout the Confederate States.
