Soldiers were obtained in the Civil War by volunteering and later the draft. In the South, any able-bodied male between the ages of 17 and 50 could be drafted. In the North, between ages 17 and 25.

The laws faced more challenges in the South due to resistance and exemptions based on social status, leading to widespread desertion and evasion.
