Congress followed with the Union Draft Law of 1863 making every male citizen between twenty and forty-five years. In both the North and the South the principle behind the draft laws was the same.

In the North, the draft laws were established to recruit men into the Union Army to bolster the war effort during the Civil War. The laws required eligible men to register and potentially be chosen by lot for military service.

In the South, the draft laws were also implemented to raise troops for the Confederate Army during the Civil War. The laws faced more challenges in the South due to resistance and exemptions based on social status, leading to widespread desertion and evasion.
