The process of drafting citizens into the Civil War was known as conscription. In the United States, the most notable conscription law was the Enrollment Act of 1863, which required able-bodied men to serve in the military unless they could pay for a substitute or were exempted for specific reasons. This law sparked significant controversy and resistance, leading to events such as the New York City Draft Riots in 1863.
