The system of mandatory (involuntary) military enlistment is called conscription. Also known as "the draft," it was widely but not consistently used during the US Civil War.
Both. In the beginning they enlisted (volunteered). When the reality of war struck them (the horrors of war); they had to be forced to fight (drafted).
As far as I can tell, some of the soldiers were drafted, meaning they were required by law to join the army, or volunteered for the army.
First battle of bull run
All of them - we have a volunteer military nobody was drafted everyone volunteered.
Men volunteered in droves after Pearl Harbor was attacked.
None. Roman soldiers were paid professionals soldiers who volunteered to join the army. There was no universal conscription. It is the same in modern professional armies. You volunteer to take up a professional career.
soldiers lay like sleeping lions.

In the beginning of World War 1 Prime Minister Borden offered Britain 25 000 troops, the first division of the CEF. In the early months of recruiting more than 33 000 volunteered. By 10 months of the war being declared more than 100 000 volunteered. So many voluteered because they thought it would be a short war (home by Christmas), they would receive a heroes welcome home, they would experience an exciting adveenture over seas, and also for the pay.
Anywhere from 25,000 to 40,000 Canadians volunteered in the U.S. Armed Forces. This is according to several sites.
