Initially they called out the landowners - mainly small farmers, who were obliged to turn out to defend their land. After the Punic Wars, the farmers were so depleted and the territory so expanded that they had to recruit the un-propertied class. This caused problems - after a war the soldiers would take their share of the loot and return to their farms. The un-propertied had nowhere to return to and relied on their general to get the Senate to allocate them land. This gave the general a power base of supporters, which led to the civil wars between them.
In the early part of the US Civil War, the Confederacy made good use of its slaves. Because the South's number of available men for troops were far less than the North, the South used slaves to accompany their armies and do the manual work that was doe by soldiers in the North. So carrying ammunition, driving supply carts and cooking food, was done with slaves. This allowed the South to use its white manpower as soldiers. Also, before the North began to make serious inroads in the South, farming duties were carried out by slaves. In the North, free workmen were used and therefore left fewer men for the North's armies.
During the Civil War, the army had to ensure that troops were fed through a combination of supply depots and field rations. Soldiers often received hardtack, salt pork, and beans, which were durable and could be stored for long periods. Additionally, foraging and local procurement became common practices, allowing troops to supplement their rations with food from farms and towns. Logistics and transportation were critical, as armies needed to maintain supply lines to keep their soldiers adequately fed.

Each side of the US Civil War faced the problem of securing supply lines to keep their armies in the field. Here are a number of problems;* Wagons and good roads could feed field armies over a considerable distance; * Necessary horses and mules could not be properly fed however, because they consumed almost ten times the amount of food than the soldiers; and * Soldiers could be fed if fodder for their animals could be obtained as an army went deep into enemy territory.

The ancient Romans kept expanding their empire, at least well up into England, if not Scotland. To defeat the people already living in land that they wanted, their large armies could defeat nearly any opposing army. For the Roman armies of marching men, horse-riding leaders and especially chariot soldiers, roads were a necessity not only for the armies to get to, or at least close to the fighting, but also to enable movement of the large amount of non-soldier traffic needed to supply the soldiers. The roads also enabled message runners to run faster to deliver their messages.
