People exempted from the draft had disabilities, such as poor eyesight or flat feet, as well as major handicaps like missing arms or paralysis. Mental disabilities were also taken into account, as well as age.

Why a person not want to fight?

In the Northern & Southern States many men did not want to join the army or be conscripted. One reason was that in the South, men were exempt from the draft if they owned 20 or more slaves. Many Confederate soldiers did not have 20+ slaves and so many Southerners saw the war as a poor man's war, as wealthy slaveholders were exempt from fighting. In the North, a draft had to be installed in 1863 as the volunteer's for Union army service declined. Riots were the New York City answer to the new draft laws. These laws also made Unionists not want to fight a "rich man's war " because one could avoid the draft by paying the US Treasury $300. OR finding a substitute to fight for the original draftee.
