What were the requirements for Southern conscription laws? (Select all that apply.)
All men ages 18 to 45 must enlist.
Landowners with 20 or more slaves could avoid this draft.
Slaves must serve in the Confederate Army.
Native Americans could not serve.
I believe its A & C?
A and B
The Union needed fewer men than the Confederacy did, but there was still resistance to the draft. The Confederate draft called for all men between 18 and 45 to enlist. A year later, the ages had changed to those 17 to 50. Loopholes built into this system favored the wealthy classes. Landowners with over 20 slaves could avoid the draft, as could the only sons of widows and men with medical conditions. In both the North and the South, a conscriptee could buy his way out for $300, a large sum of money then, or hire a substitute to serve in his stead. It was said this was “a rich man’s war but a poor man’s fight.”
