Yes, during the American Civil War, many young men were compelled to enlist due to conscription laws. The Enrollment Act of 1863 allowed for the drafting of men aged 20 to 45, leading to widespread protests and resistance in some areas. Additionally, societal pressure and economic conditions often pushed young men to join the military voluntarily, as it was seen as a patriotic duty. This resulted in significant numbers of young men being deployed to fight in the conflict, often against their will.
