Paying a substitute to serve in his place.
In the North, the draft laws were established to recruit men into the Union Army to bolster the war effort during the Civil War. The laws required eligible men to register and potentially be chosen by lot for military service. In the South, the draft laws were also implemented to raise troops for the Confederate Army during the Civil War. The laws faced more challenges in the South due to resistance and exemptions based on social status, leading to widespread desertion and evasion.
The South passed a draft law during the American Civil War in April 1862. The law required all white males aged 18 to 35 to serve in the Confederate Army for three years.
the confederates had been drafting soldiers since the spring of 1862. by 1863, all able-bodied white men between the ages of 18 and 45 were requires to join the army. the union draft law was passed in march 1863. like the confederacy, the union allowed draftees to hire substitutes. however, the north also offered $300 bounties, or cash payments, to men who volunteered to serve.bl
The response to the draft law in the south was mixed. Some people supported it as a way to bolster national security and military readiness, while others opposed it due to concerns about the fairness and impact on individuals and families. Overall, the draft law sparked discussions and debates among different communities in the south.

Paying a substitute to serve in his place.
Soldiers were obtained in the Civil War by volunteering and later the draft. In the South, any able-bodied male between the ages of 17 and 50 could be drafted. In the North, between ages 17 and 25. A Southerner could avoid the draft by owning at least twenty slaves. A Northerner could avoid the draft by paying the government $300. For this reason, the Civil War became known as "The rich man's war, poor man's fight".
There was no draft in the south. A man could send a substitute to fight for him.
He could get up $300, a substantial sum at the time ( my guess this was donated to the Department of the Army) or (Buy) a qualified substitute. It is not known what the service obligation of the substitute was- it could be say, 24 months, or possibly for the duration of the war.
It was very important because the North outnumbered the South in men and munitions and food and clothing and shoes. The South needed all the men she could get,

True
Yes, both sides introduced a draft.
North or South Viet draft dodgers were hunted down and arrested. Northerners could surrender to the allies (Chu Hoi program); but if they were re-captured by their former comrades (NVA) they'd probably be executed (shot). Southerners were stuck where they were at; South Vietnam.
