They are the Confederate States of America.
However, you may be referring to Confederate States that are ‘rump’ governments. These are States with governmental entities for both sides, Union and Confederacy. There were three of them, one for the Union and two for the Confederacy. The States under discussion are as follows:
Seven states seceded by February 1861:
•South Carolina (December 20, 1860)
•Mississippi (January 9, 1861)
•Florida (January 10, 1861)
•Alabama (January 11, 1861)
•Georgia (January 19, 1861)
•Louisiana (January 26, 1861)
•Texas (February 1, 1861)
After Lincoln called for troops, four more states seceded:
•Virginia (April 17, 1861) there was also a rump Union government of Virginia
•Arkansas (May 6, 1861)
•Tennessee (May 7, 1861)
•North Carolina (May 20, 1861)
Two more states had rival (or rump) governments. The Confederacy admitted them but they never controlled these states and the pro-Confederate state governments were soon in exile:
•Missouri did not secede but a rump groups proclaimed secession (October 31, 1861)
•Kentucky did not secede but a rump, unelected group proclaimed secession (November 20, 1861)
Both states allowed slavery and both had strong Unionist and Confederate counties, including some Unionist slave-owners. The legalities of the matter remain in dispute to the present day.

States of the Rebellion. Advocates would like us to refer to them as The Confederate States of America. But seeing as how they were crushed in four years, they weren't the anything of America except Rebels. It wasn't a civil war, it was a war of rebellion. Thank God it turned out the way it did. Freakin' secesh.

Confederate States of America.
References to them as "The Confederate Snakes of America" are historically inaccurate.
