Under various conscription (draft) acts during the Civil War, the Union army drafted men ages 18-35 years old. They report that initially the Confederate army passed conscription laws to draft men ages 18-35, but later expanded the range to include men up to 45 years old, and then in 1864, expanded the age range from 17 to 50 years old.
