Right because the states of the CSA had no central government that passed legislation or raised armies.

The CSA was the 1st to implement conscription in the war, they implemented an internal passport system, and many would say that President Davis was a despot.

The Civil War was not a war of the Citizens against the Government it was a war of the Government against the Government.
