The Provisional Congress of the Confederation met after the separation of the southern states of Alabama, Louisiana, Florida, Mississippi, Georgia, South Carolina, and Texas and the foundation of the Confederate States of America (CSA) on February 4, 1861 in Montgomery, Alabama. It consisted of one chamber and had 50 members, who were designated as deputies. The Provisional Congress met in two sessions in Montgomery and elected the president (18 February 1861), designed the flag of the CSA (5 March 1861) and approved the constitution (11 March 1861).
