The draft law of 1863, formally known as the Enrollment Act, was enacted in the United States during the Civil War to address the Union's need for more soldiers. It authorized the federal government to draft men into military service, requiring males aged 20 to 45 to register for the draft. The law also allowed for exemptions, where individuals could pay a fee or provide a substitute to avoid service. This legislation sparked significant unrest, particularly leading to riots, such as the New York City draft riots in 1863.
