Under the Draft Act of 1863, it was legal to hire a "substitute" who had not been drafted. A man could also pay $300 (a large sum at the time) to avoid conscription.
I think they created a draft
No, the South beat them by almost a year.
During the American Revolution, some states resorted to the draft to get citizens to join the state militia. The United States first employed national conscription during the Civil War. I believe President Madison had tried to institute a draft while he was President but Congress would not approve it. The Union conscription law led to violent draft demonstrations in New York City, in 1863. Several people were killed during the Draft Riots.
New York.
When men refused to enlist (volunteer) for the Union Army (US Army) during the US Civil War (1861-1865), Uncle Sam DRAFTED THEM!

Only 50,000 Union troops were enlisted on the basis of the draft laws. The Union states continued to raise troops who were volunteers.
Minnesota was a Union State during the Civil War.
About 22 million citizens lived in the Union during the Civil War
Indeed they did, with all of the protests and riots, Rich mans war, poor mans fight, comes not from the Vietnam War, but from the US Civil War. Some people think that it was optional, but it was not.
