Volunteers and Draftees: North and South, pages 447-448

quota

At the beginning of the war, the Northern army was mostly volunteers with each state

assigned a quota based on population.

But when volunteers dropped off, the first nation-wide draft was created in 1863.

However, a draftee with money could hire substitutes to go for them or pay $300 to

avoid service.

Drafts riots broke out in New York and other northern cities among especially poor

Irish immigrants.

In the South, conscription started in 1862 as there was a smaller population pool for

draftees. All men 17-50 were required to fight but the wealthy could also purchase

their way out. Resentment grew among the poor “A rich man’s war but a poor man’s

fight.”
