Poland was legitimate, the CSA never. Study the fallacy of false comparison. You are so easy to do deal with. A better comparison would be the subjugation of the various French duchies to the kingdom or the various principalities, dukedoms, and other powers to the Emperor of Germany. They were all, respectively, of one 'nation' generally and will never be resurrected, nor the CSA for that reason.
Your confusion is evident, as you confuse a Union/Confederacy of States as a single "nation" another comparison would be the United Nations, as that to is a union/confederacy of sovereign nations under a charter.
You see the union as it is since Lincoln's rebellion as a consolidation, rather than the union that it was. States are NOT duchies. A duchies is a territory, The States are NOT territories of the National government.
Your comparison is a false comparison.
Talk about being easy to deal with.
For the first time you attempt to post something of relevance to the discussion and make a fool of yourself in the attempt.
Which other nations recognized Confederate sovereignty? When you don't have diplomatic recognition from anyone, you only imagine yourself to be a legitimate sovereign nation.
Each State within the Confederacy is itself a nation, Your problem is in the way you have been indoctrinated to view YOUR union of States since Lincoln's rebellion consolidated them into a single entity.
Take a look at the United Nations members: What you will find are member States, as a State is a nation....

Our Confederacy is made of member States/nations, each recognized the other, and each member State in our Confederacy recognized the General government of the Confederacy as legitimate, they fought a defensive war under that united government, each member Nation/State government had two appointed representatives within that central body of government.
One of the self evident truths is that.....
"Governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the CONSENT of the governed."
Do you deny this self evident truth?
In this denial of this self evident truth; is it your assertion that other governments are required for a government to be legitimate?
Is it your denial that the people who form the government and grant it their just powers who make it legitimate?
Indoctrination is a powerful weapon, it skews reality.....
Niccola Machiavelli,.
"...[A]llow them [the conquered] to live under their own laws, taking
tribute of them, and creating within the country a government
composed of a few who will keep it friendly to you.... A city used to
liberty can be more easily held by means of its citizens than in any
other way....
"...[T]hey must at least retain the semblance of the old forms; so that it may seem to
the people that there has been no change in the institutions, even though in fact they
are entirely different from the old ones. For the great majority of mankind are
satisfied with appearances, as though they were realities, and are often even more
influenced by the things that seem than by those that are.... [The conqueror should]
not wish that the people... should have occasion to regret the loss of any of their old customs".....
Joseph Goebbels, once said....
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will
eventually come to believe it."
