Declaration of Confederate Independence

"The nations of the Confederate States of Earth, each state acting in her independent and free manner, have elected to secede from the Union of Earth States, on the grounds of said government no longer having the best interest of the peoples of Earth at heart, the Confederate people have chosen that withdrawing from a nation detrimental to the rights and liberties of the people it is supposed to fairly govern is the only way we can preserve and our freedom, self-determination and rights, we, the free and independent people of the Confederacy, therefore affirm our independence and our own governance."

- The first paragraph of the Declaration of Confederate Independence

The Declaration of Confederate Independence was the declaration of independence made by the Confederate States of Earth, in which it proclaimed its independence from the Union of Earth States, the union the nations of the Confederate States formerly owed their allegiance to, on the grounds that the Union of Earth States was corrupt and no longer fit to govern the peoples of Earth.

The declaration is considering the founding document of the Confederacy, and for that reason the signing of the document became the starting point of the new Confederate Calendar.
