Best Answer

The 1862 Confederate draft laws caused Confederate President Jefferson Davis to suspend certain Constitutional rights as a precautionary measure. The draft was not popular with Southern citizens nor with Confederate governors. Davis was safe however, as no open rebellions occurred, as was the case in the North when they passed draft laws in 1863.
