Treaty of Versailles - Remembrance Day:
"European hostilities officially paused at 11 AM on the 11th of November 1918 after the German government accepted the terms of armistice given to them by the allied forces. The following year the cease fire was made permanent with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles, but it is the 11th of the 11th that has become the symbolic time of peace. Starting in 1919, countries around the world have paused for a minute or two of silence to remember those who have sacrificed themselves for our freedom.

The "Confederates" usually is used to refer to the Southern States during the American Civil War (1861-1865) between the North and the South. The American Revolution took place almost one hundred years before (1775-1783) and was between The United States and England.
