With many volunteers due to end their service to the Confederate army, Major General James Longstreet was summoned to Richmond to provide his input on the contemplated conscription act and new policies related to volunteer enlistments. The 1862 Confederate Conscription Act would be the first time in America that draft laws would be enacted. In 1863, the Union also passed a conscription act.
Robert Borden initially opposed conscription during World War I, believing that volunteerism would suffice to meet military needs. However, as the war dragged on and casualty rates increased, he shifted his stance, recognizing the necessity of conscription to bolster Canadian forces. In 1917, he introduced the Military Service Act, which mandated conscription, leading to significant political and social controversy in Canada. Borden's change reflected the growing pressures of the war and the demands for increased military manpower.
Borden and King had different approaches to conscription during World War I and II, respectively. Borden implemented conscription in 1917 with the Military Service Act, facing significant public backlash and opposition, especially in Quebec. In contrast, King's government avoided conscription during World War II until late in the conflict, opting for a more voluntary enlistment approach initially, which helped maintain national unity. Ultimately, King's strategy is often viewed as more adept at managing public sentiment and regional tensions.
Yes it was but for a very short time. There was an election known as the "khaki election" where two candidates, Laurier and Borden were running for prime minister. Broden was for conscription Laurier was against. Borden won but barely even enlisted anyone, 100,000 enlisted but there were so many loopholes in the system that 90% of them got out of it.
There is not any information as to how Gail Borden died. It is known however, that he passed is 1874.
Laurier lost the election for many reasons. He lost mainly because of conscription and a wartime act. Conscription forced every male from 19-42 to go to the Great War. Borden passed the Wartime Elections Act. It: a. Gave the vote to women who were wives, sisters or mothers of a soldier. b. Allowed soldiers at the foront to vote The govt decided which riding votes would go to. c. Removed the vote from enemy aliens. The women voted for Borden they wanted their families to survive. The soldier voted for borden they wanted more hel. Their votes were used selectively to win key ridins. The new immigrants lost their votes they were traditional liberal voters. Borden won the election. In the end only 24 000 conscripts went to the front. from: Luca (without a wiki name.)
he gave the right to vote to women who had relatives fighting in the war so Borden was sure that these woman would support conscription CZ it would mean that their husbands and sons would get help from other soldier .
Robert Borden gave women the right to vote, because by doing so, he could ensure his re-election into parliament. If he was re-elected, then he would be able to pass his conscription bill.
Prime Minister Borden broke his promise against conscription due to the escalating demands of World War I and the significant loss of Canadian soldiers on the battlefield. As volunteer enlistment numbers dwindled and the need for troops intensified, Borden believed conscription was necessary to ensure Canada could fulfill its commitments to the war effort. The decision was also influenced by pressure from military leaders and the realization that voluntary recruitment alone would not suffice to meet the demands of the conflict. Ultimately, this led to the passing of the Military Service Act in 1917, which implemented conscription.
By being elected on December 2nd 1972, Prime Minister Edward Gough Whitlam advocated for the end of conscription. By achieving the votes in the Upper House and Lower House, the bill was passed to abolish conscription. Also, public support strengthened the bid to abolish conscription.
On February 17, 1864, the Confederacy passed its final conscription act of the US Civil War. The new act expanded the ages of potential draftees.
Robert Borden initially opposed conscription at the start of World War I, promising to rely on voluntary enlistment. However, as casualties mounted and enlistment numbers declined, he recognized the urgent need for additional troops to support the war effort. Facing pressure from military leaders and a divided public opinion, Borden ultimately decided to introduce conscription in 1917 to ensure Canada could meet its commitments to the Allies. This shift reflected both the changing realities of the war and the necessity of sustaining military resources.
