After the beginning of the US Civil War, each side resorted to making joining their military a voluntary thing to aid their respective sides. Each side appealed to the patriotism of its citizens. As the war grew in size and intensity, draft laws were enacted to bring new soldiers to each side's military forces. Draft laws were first enacted in the South in 1862 and in 1863 draft laws were enacted in the Union. Most soldiers, however, were still volunteers.
