Jefferson Davis instituted a draft for the Confederate Army on April 16, 1862. This decision was made in response to the growing need for soldiers as the Civil War intensified and the Confederacy faced manpower shortages. The draft initially targeted men between the ages of 18 and 35, later expanding to include a broader age range as the war progressed.
