What changes to the Confederate draft laws were made in 1864?

Did repeating rifles make a difference to pickets charge at Gettysburg?
Yes they contributed greatly to the union victory, while the union soldiers had access to repeating rifles the confederates did not which caused the subsequent decimation of the confederate soldiers at that engagment. Repeating rifles were not used during pickett's charge, only cavalry used repeating rifles. Confederate cavalry had repeating rifles.
What skills made the Southerners good soldiers?
Personally, I think this is overrated. Yes, the Southerners grew up on farms, were used to working hard and long hours, were usually in good physical condition, often experienced with horses and shooting---but so were most of the Northern soldiers. What the Southerners did have in spades was superior leadership, knowledge of the terrain, and a much easier strategic objective: all they had to do was protect their territory from the North which was faced with the task of conquering a massive territory and holding on to it. The individual soldiers were not as different as people make them out to be. It is also worth noting that many Confederate soldiers were former Union soldiers. When their states seceded they left the Union army and joined the Confederate army. Many Confederate officers were West Point graduates, some having served with distinction in Mexico. There is a common misconception that the Confederate army was composed of good ol' boys that were handy with a rifle from hunting. In fact, the Confederate army was very disciplined, well-organized, and superbly led.
