During the American Civil War, the age limit for military service varied by state and time period, but generally, men aged 18 to 35 were eligible for conscription. Later, the age range was expanded to include men as young as 17 and as old as 50, depending on the specific policies enacted. Some younger boys also served in various capacities, often as drummers or aides, despite the official age restrictions.
