The Conscription Act, enacted during the American Civil War, mandated that all able-bodied men aged 18 to 35 were subject to military draft for service in the Confederate Army, with the possibility of extending the age range later. It included provisions for exemptions, allowing certain individuals, such as those who owned a specified number of slaves or held key government positions, to avoid service. Additionally, the act allowed for substitution, where draftees could pay someone else to serve in their place. This legislation aimed to bolster troop numbers amid increasing casualties and manpower shortages.
