'''Federal Union''' or just '''Union''' was a legal term of art meaning the government of the [[United States of America]], as created by the union of the [[state]]s under the [[United States Constitution]]. It had particular meaning during the [[American Civil War]], wherein "Union" was a common name for the [[United States Army]], and where the "Federal Union" was the legal entity from which the [[Confederate States of America]] had seceded. Proof of this was found simply in the titles of many documents, most notably the ''[[Declaration of the Immediate Causes Which Induce and Justify the Secession of South Carolina from the Federal Union]]''.
