confederacy has 8 distinct synonyms spread across 4 of its 4 senses. Each sense below keeps its own list, because a synonym belongs to a meaning and not to a word: swapping one sense's substitute into another sense's sentence is how a thesaurus makes writing worse. WordNet records no antonym for it — antonymy is a relation between word forms rather than concepts, so it is deliberately sparse.
Counts are distinct word forms across every sense. A synonym that appears under three senses is counted once here and shown three times below, under each sense it belongs to.
the southern states that seceded from the United States in 1861
a group of conspirators banded together to achieve some harmful or illegal purpose
a secret agreement between two or more people to perform an unlawful act
