Abstract:

On April 16, 1862 the Confederate Congress passed the first conscription act. Opposition to the policy was strong in North Carolina where intense individualism, a distrust of outside authority, and the most complete enforcement of the conscription laws caused the governor and chief justice to conflict with the confederate policymakers.
