The law that forced people into military service during the Civil War was the Enrollment Act of 1863, also known as the Civil War military draft. It required all male citizens and immigrants to register for conscription to serve in the Union Army if needed. Those drafted could also pay a commutation fee or provide a substitute to avoid service.
