Military conscription (the "draft") is a form of legalized involuntary servitude. Men were forced to perform military service, which is at best only slightly pleasant, and at worst can get you killed. If the draftees really didn't want to perform military service, then vigorous expressions of their displeasure was normal.
I'm a retired US Navy officer, and even _I_ think that the draft was a bad idea. It's slavery; you are forced to do things that you really don't want to do. While it's certainly arguable that every member of a society has an obligation to defend that society, the military draft has been too often used for purposes other than defense. When the society is really threatened (for example, in World War II) then citizens volunteer - generally in great numbers! - to defend it. The WWII "draft" was used more to manage the flow of enlistments rather than to force people to enlist.
Rioting is more likely when the draft is imposed suddenly, when no national debate has been conducted.
