The draft law of 1863, formally known as the Enrollment Act, was enacted in the United States during the Civil War to address the Union's need for more soldiers. It authorized the federal government to draft men into military service, requiring males aged 20 to 45 to register for the draft. The law also allowed for exemptions, where individuals could pay a fee or provide a substitute to avoid service. This legislation sparked significant unrest, particularly leading to riots, such as the New York City draft riots in 1863.

Draft riots, bread riots, and Copperheads are all connected to the social and political tensions during the Civil War era in the United States. Draft riots, particularly the New York City Draft Riots of 1863, were fueled by opposition to conscription and racial tensions. Bread riots occurred as people protested against food shortages and rising prices, reflecting the struggles of civilians during wartime. Copperheads were Northern Democrats who opposed the war and sought a peaceful resolution, often criticizing the government's policies, which linked them to the broader unrest and dissatisfaction of that period.
