The Confederation of Dixie’s formation was not quick or seamless. It was not planned, and had no central authority bringing it together. Representatives of States all over the American South East simply visited Lexington and talked to whoever showed up there. And one by one, they began to advocate for joining forces against Federal oppression. West Virginia was first to announce they were partnering with Virginia in such a venture, and others signed up on their own in the following months. Some waited years to join. Florida was actually the last of the original States to join, nearly ten years after the Second Great Depression ended. And they did not even adopt the Confederation of Dixie name until three years after that. It was a very slow and spastic growth to becoming one of the major American State alliances.
