Civilians in New York City reacted to the draft with a mix of anger and protest, particularly during the Civil War era, leading to the infamous Draft Riots of 1863. Many working-class individuals felt the draft disproportionately targeted them while wealthier citizens could pay for exemptions. If faced with a draft today, I would likely seek to understand the implications and consider advocating for peaceful protest or seeking alternatives to military service, depending on the context and my personal beliefs.
