In the North during the Civil War, the group most likely to face conscription into the military was men with low-paying jobs. Wealthy individuals often found ways to avoid conscription, such as paying for substitutes or affording exemptions. African American men were not initially subject to the draft until later in the war, and Confederate farmers were from the South, not the North.
