Ordered a draft of all men of military age in 1863.

The law was badly framed, because it allowed better-off young men to pay substitutes to serve in their place. These substitutes were supplied by unscrupulous brokers who were ready to send in men well below the required physical and mental standard, and this had a bad effect on Northern morale.

Recent immigrants also did not think they should have to serve in the army, and this caused riots in New York.
