The key difference between the draft laws of the United States (Union) and the Confederacy is that the draft law of the Confederacy allowed wealthy men to pay for a substitution. This means that wealthy individuals could avoid service by hiring someone else to take their place, a provision not present in the Union draft law. The other points mentioned do not capture the primary distinction between the two draft laws.
