Answer 1

Here's how you can categorize the items based on the organization of armies in the North and South:

North:

• Passed conscription, or draft laws.
• Offered bounties to volunteers.
• Offered ways for wealthy citizens to avoid serving.

South:

• Passed conscription, or draft laws.
• Offered ways for wealthy citizens to avoid serving.
• Forced African Americans to serve the army.

Both North and South:

• Offered bounties to volunteers.

Note: The specifics of conscription and treatment of African Americans varied greatly between the North and South, so while both regions did implement drafts, the context and execution were different. In the South, conscription included provisions for wealthier individuals, while the North had different exemptions and practices.
