What did both the North and the South do to help recruit more troops in the US Civil War?
Initially both armies were filled with volunteers, but as time went on a draft became necessary. The North held the first draft in U.S. history. For the south the draft was enforced by the Confederate Home Guard.
Is the draft unconstitutional?
no. article one, section 8 shows all the powers of the congress. in there is the power.... "To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;" "To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;" this is the power to draft basically, if not draft then required services in some other form to the militia......
What results did we get from the amendments of slavery?
The 13th amendment officially abolished slavery. Once these slaves were free, the abolitionists and the northerners feared the southerners and former confederates would deny these freedmen citizenship. So, the 14th amendment granted the African Americans citizenship. And then, the 15th amendment was established, granting the African Americans the right to vote. But some states issued a poll tax and a literacy test to prevent them from voting. Groups like the KKK formed to keep African Americans from voting. The Civil Rights Act of 1965 played a big role in ending these harsh restrictions on voting. There were also black codes and Jim Crow Laws which treated African Americans harshly as well.
