After initial enthusiasm for the Civil War faded, both the North and South turned to conscription to maintain troop numbers. The South implemented the draft in April 1862 for men aged 18 to 35, while the North passed the Enrollment Act in March 1863, requiring eligible men to register for the draft. Both sides encountered issues with social inequities as wealthier individuals could often evade service through financial means.
