There were many people both North & South who found fault with the conscription laws of the Union and the Confederacy. This included the soldiers, their families and newspaper writers. The reasons for being critical were well founded. The Union would allow an individual who was drafted to pay the Federal Government $300. or supply an other individual. The Union garnered $15. Million from this. In the South, people who owned 20 or more slaves were exempt from service. This was truly a poor man's war.

How would free the slaves help the union win the war?

Freeing the slaves would weaken the Confederacy's economy, which heavily relied on slave labor for agricultural production, particularly in cotton. It would also bolster the Union's military manpower by allowing formerly enslaved individuals to join the Union Army, providing critical support and reinforcements. Additionally, the moral imperative of fighting against slavery could galvanize public support for the Union cause, both domestically and internationally, potentially discouraging foreign powers from supporting the Confederacy.
