ANSWER

Because the costs of the war and military, President Lincoln could not afford to allow solders to have time off as he would have liked.

Both sides were losing a great deal of men on the battlefield, either by death, disease, or serious wounds.

Lincoln tried to bring a draft into play in 1863. Known, as the Conscription Act of 1863, it made all able-bodied males between the ages of 20 and 45 liable for military service.

Draftees were permitted to hire substitutes. By enabling the rich to avoid service, the act angered many. It was, they said, "a rich man's war and a poor man's fight."

Riots broke out in several northern cities, and from this, Free Blacks were allowed to join the Union Army.
