The C.S.A. was the military land force of the Confederate States of America (CSA) during the American Civil War (1861–1865) HistoryOn January 31, 1865, the 2nd Confederate States Congress provided “for the appointment of a General in Chief of the Armies of the Confederate States.” On February 6, General Robert E. Lee, Confederate States Army, was appointed to the position and served in that capacity until the end of the American Civil War.[1] Lee retained command of the Army of Northern Virginia, serving in both assignments de facto until he surrendered at Appomattox on April 9, 1865 and de jure until he was paroled as a POW of the Union Army on April 12, 1865. The appointment of a General in Chief had been debated as early as February 27, 1862. President Jefferson Davis voiced his rejection (and veto) of creating this position to the 1st Confederate States Congress on March 14, 1862, believing that such a general could "command an army or armies without the will of the President."[2] Davis performed many of the responsibilities of a general in chief himself throughout the war, acting as both a military operations manager and commander-in-chief. Lee (from March to May 1862) and General Braxton Bragg (from February 1864 to January 1865) also performed related duties, as they were military advisers to Davis, or "charged with the conduct of military operations in the armies of the Confederacy."[3] {{Clear}}See also
