How did the Confederacy respond to the formation of the 54th?

By creating similar confederate infantries consisting of only Black soldiers

Explanation:

"The 54th" refers to a group of infantry that from Massachusetts that consisted of only black soldiers during the civil war. The 54th Infantry regiment fought for the Union with the goal to help the Union abolish slavery in Southern States.

The confederacy saw this and formed their own black-only infantries.  But for the confederate army, they were just slave-soldiers. These infantries have no right to refuse their milltuiary appointment since many of them were executed if they dare to refuse.

affirmative action refers to the policies that take gender, race, or ethnicity into account in order to promote equal opportunity.

employers subject to title vii are prohibited from taking race or sex into account in any employment decisions. aa is a penalty for having any job group substantially statistically "underutilized" in any race or either sex. the employer must take steps to eliminate the underutilization, then stop, ending its aa efforts

it was certainly a debatable decision, mainly because it was based primarily on political - and not on legal or social - views. since the congress at that time was led by members of the republican party, and the territory that the tribes wanted to turn into an exclusively indian state was predominantly democratic, the proposal (as expressed in the constitution) did not succeed, but the constitution itself proved to be of crucial importance in the creation of the state of oklahoma, and, most importantly, it guaranteed the involvement of representatives of the indian tribes in the government of the future joint state.  

as a member of congress, i would have voted to ratify the constitution, or at least to have it tabled. ignoring it was an interested and partial decision.
