Civil War Draft Broadside

Civil War Draft Broadside

United States--History--Civil War, 1861-1865; United States--History--Civil War, 1861-1865--Registers; Military draft

This poster for the draft for the Civil War asks for all men that are able, to come to the Wooster Courthouse for a draft for the Union army. The poster describes how many men are needed overall, and then breaks it down by county in an area of Ohio and how many men must come from each county. The Civil War was the first time that the United States had ever implemented the draft. The majority of the men that actually served in the army during the Civil War, and most other time that the United States has implemented the draft, were volunteers, not men drafted. However, having the military draft was an important aspect of the Civil War for both sides, especially the Confederacy, who had fewer citizens and therefore fewer men that were willing to join to the military. The draft was an important aspect of the Civil War because it provided both sides with the men they needed to fight, often with harsh opposition.
