The North passed a draft law in 1863 during the American Civil War. This legislation, known as the Enrollment Act, aimed to address manpower shortages in the Union Army by establishing a system of conscription. It mandated that men aged 20 to 45 could be drafted unless they paid a fee or found a substitute to serve in their place. The law was met with significant resistance, leading to protests and riots in several cities.
