Jelaskan Pasukan-pasukan bersenjata dari Negeri-negeri Gabungan Amerika dalam bahasa melayu

Pasukan tentera bersenjata Gabungan terdiri daripada tiga cabang:

Tentera darat Negeri-negeri Gabungan Amerika

Tentera Laut Negeri-negeri Gabungan Amerika

Kor Marin Negeri-negeri Gabungan Amerika

Kepimpinan tentera Gabungan terdiri daripada kebanyakkan veteran Tentera Darat Amerika Syarikat dan Tentera Laut Amerika Syarikat yang telah meletak jawatan dari tugas persekutuan dan telah dilantik bagi mengisi pangkat kanan dalam pasukan bersenjata Gabungan. Kebayakkan mereka berkhidmat di dalam Perang Mexico-Amerika (termasuk Robert E. Lee dan Jefferson Davis), tetapi yang lain hanya memiliki sedikit atau tiada pengalaman ketenteraan (seperti Leonidas Polk, yang telah menghadiri West Point tetapi tidak lulus). Kor pegawai Gabungan terdiri daripada pemuda yang berasal dari keluarga yang memiliki hamba, but many came from non-owners. The Confederacy appointed junior and field grade officers by election from the enlisted ranks. Although no Army service academy was established for the Confederacy, many colleges of the South (such as the The Citadel and Virginia Military Institute) maintained cadet corps that were seen as a training ground for Confederate military leadership. A naval academy was established in 1863, but no midshipmen had graduated by the time the Confederacy collapsed.

The rank and file of the Confederate armed forces consisted of white males with an average age between 16 and 28. Many thousands of slaves served as laborers, cooks, pioneers and in other non-combat roles. The Confederacy adopted conscription in 1862. Depleted by casualties, the military suffered chronic manpower shortages. After agitation from the Army, and at the demand of General Lee, slaves were enrolled in new combat units in the spring of 1865, with the promise of emancipation; they were in training when the war ended and did not serve in actual combat.
