The North primarily relied on a combination of volunteer enlistments and a draft system, known as the Enrollment Act of 1863, which mandated military service for eligible men. The South also encouraged volunteer enlistments but implemented a conscription law in 1862, making it one of the first places in the world to draft soldiers during wartime. Both sides used incentives such as bounties to encourage enlistment and maintain troop levels throughout the war.
