The Union draft, implemented in 1863 through the Enrollment Act, required able-bodied men aged 20 to 45 to register for military service, allowing for exemptions through payment or hiring substitutes. In contrast, the Confederate draft, initiated in 1862, mandated service for white men aged 18 to 35, later expanded to include those up to 50, and allowed wealthier individuals to avoid service by paying a fee or providing substitutes. Both drafts faced significant opposition and resistance, but the Confederate draft was more stringent due to the South's desperate manpower needs. Ultimately, the Union's draft system was more flexible, reflecting its larger population and resources.

How were the union and confederate draft laws different?
The Union draft law allowed conscripts to pay a substitute to do their service for them. This was disastrous for morale. It also had a serious flaw: who were these substitutes? Obviously men who had been rejected first time round, or had been dodging the draft. Very few of these substitutes saw useful service in the front line.
