What feature of a confederal system did the confederate states of america most want?

 The correct answer is :  They wanted a limited central system that could unite independent states.

Explanation:  The southern Confederate states separated from the Union in 1861, which caused the civil war. These states formed their own government because they thought the federal government of the United States was violating their rights and their lifestyle. In a confederation, the ultimate authority rests with the individual states, not the central government. In this way each state would preserve its autonomy.

i confess that there are several parts of this constitution which i do not at present approve, but i am not sure i shall never approve them: for having lived long, i have experienced many instances of being obliged by better information or fuller consideration, to change opinions even on important subjects, which i once thought right, but found to be otherwise. it is therefore that the older i grow, the more apt i am to doubt my own judgment, and to pay more respect to the judgment of others.
