The Confederate States Army, also called the Confederate Army or simply the Southern Army, was the military land force of the Confederate States of America (commonly referred to as the Confederacy) during the American Civil War (1861–1865), fighting against the United States forces in order to uphold the institution of slavery in the Southern states.

Davis was a graduate of the U.S. Military Academy, and colonel of a volunteer regiment during the Mexican–American War.
