Because it was already bad enough what blacks had to go through at that time!
That would be like turkeys voting for Xmas.

The Confederacy did not draft slaves and free blacks into the army primarily due to a belief in white supremacy and the fear that arming enslaved individuals would lead to rebellion. Additionally, Confederate leaders prioritized maintaining the institution of slavery, viewing it as essential to their social and economic system. In 1865, near the war's end, the Confederacy did consider enlisting slaves as soldiers, but by then, it was too late to make a significant impact.
Because it would have run counter to the whole meaning of the Confederacy. Confederate meant white. When the Southern armies were starting to run out of manpower, one General suggested recruiting black troops, and the comment was struck from the minutes of the meeting and hushed up till after the war. Not till the final weeks of the combat did they start recruiting blacks, and it was too late to make any difference.
Your "facts" are in error.Between 65,000 and 100,000 blacks served in the Confederate Army. Let me restate that: as many as 100,000 blacks served in the Army of the South. These men were cooks, musicians, and soldiers.Of the 179,000 blacks who served in all aspects of the Union Army and 19,000 who served in the Navy, 40,000 died in service.Where the majority of Northern blacks volunteered, many of the Southern blacks were pressed into service, although quite a few volunteered to serve in the Confederate cause.
The Union and Confederacy needed to start a draft because both need more soldiers in their army
Cleveland didnt have any picks in the 2007 draft.
None. They didnt make a move on draft day. Looks like Lebrick and the Lebrick fans are out.
they needed to draft people so they could fight for what they believed in! That's wrong every body
Dopey is the one without a beard.
Well, honey, the main difference between the draft laws of the Union and the Confederacy was that the Confederacy implemented conscription much earlier in the game, while the Union took its sweet time getting on that bandwagon. Also, the Confederacy exempted certain groups like overseers and planters, while the Union was like "nah, everyone's gotta serve." So basically, one side was all about that early bird special, while the other side was like "equality for all...except y'all exempt rich folks."
it went against the belief in a limited government power
