Northern men could avoid being drafted into military service through various means, such as paying a commutation fee, which allowed them to hire a substitute to serve in their place. Additionally, some could claim exemptions based on occupations deemed essential, such as certain skilled trades or roles in agriculture. Others might relocate to avoid the draft altogether or obtain deferments through other legal loopholes.
