Confederate States Army (Look Away)

The Confederate States Army is the land warfare branch of the Confederate States Armed Forces. The CS Army was formed and first fought during the War of Secession (1861-1863), later seeing action during the Spanish-Confederate (1889-1891), Confederate interventions in Hispaniola (1875) Nicaragua (1887) and Mexico (1915-17).

The Confederate States maintained a military draft from 1889 until 1995. Since 1995 the Confederate States Army has operated purely on a volunteer basis.
