What two ways could person in the north avoid the draft in the civil war?

During the Civil War, individuals in the North could avoid the draft by paying a commutation fee, which allowed them to buy their way out of service for $300. Alternatively, they could find a substitute to serve in their place, effectively hiring someone else to fulfill their military obligation. These options were often criticized as favoring the wealthy, as they could afford to avoid conscription while poorer individuals had to serve.


Why did people in the North oppose the draft?

Many people did not want to be drafted because they did not wish to risk their lives to prevent the southern states from seceding from the union. It's perfectly understandable.Probably, because they didn't want to get killed.


Was self determination of peoples an element in shaping American conduct of the Vietnam war?

If the words "self determination of peoples..." means that individuals in the US were determined to stay out of the war...meaning stay out of the military; yes, their self determination to avoid the military draft (conscription) formed the protests, which formed the nucleus of the anti-war movement, which directly caused the downfall of the US military's morale.

Which group of Canadians were for conscription in World War 2 in?

In World War II, English Canadians were generally more supportive of conscription compared to their French Canadian counterparts. This support was largely due to their stronger ties to Britain and the belief in the necessity of military service to support the war effort. In contrast, many French Canadians opposed conscription, viewing it as an infringement on their rights and expressing a desire to avoid being drawn into the conflict. This divide contributed to significant tensions within Canadian society during the war.

What did soldiers think of conscription in WW1?

In the beginning, there was a lot of heroism and romance about war. The soldiers thought that they were going to be heroes, and were happy and excited to put their names down to be soldiers. So conscription wasn't really needed in the beginning. I'm sure the men who became soldiers at the start didn't really see why they needed conscription; it was kind of like a 'well, who doesn't want to be a hero?' mindset. However, once they began to realise how bad war really was and how dangerous and devastating it was, less and less people kept signing up, so conscription became compulsory. By the time the men knew what they were signing up for and began to try and avoid it, they had no choice whether they wanted to go to war or not. I bet heaps of the soldiers brought in near the end of the war really didn't want to be there...so I guess you could say that in the beginning, they saw no need for it, but by the time they realised what they were getting themselves in for, it was too late and they began to despise conscription. People who didn't go and fight were called conscientious objectors. :-)
