By signing up for the draft
The Confederate draft began in 1862 for the Civil war. Men were selected from the ages of 18-35 years of age. As the war continued along its bloody path, the age of draft was changed form 17-50 years of age and the times of service was for three years. Mostly single men were drafted. Married men could only be drafted after all the single men had been drafted. Exemptions to draft included those men who could purchase someone to take his place or even pay his way out of the draft. This method scorned those who were not able to have the financial means to buy their way out of the draft.

Because wealthy children could afford to go to college; thus receiving a "draft deferment."Most draft aged men had to work for a living, and couldn't afford to go to college, as that required carrying 18 college units to avoid the draft. 18 units was full time school.So the men that couldn't afford college had to go to war instead.
