Conscription You might be asking, what is conscription? Conscription is when a large number of newly arrived immigrants were recruited into the Northern Army. Thus, D, is your answer.

Answer:

D) A steady stream of new immigrants provided help.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Irish were a key piece of enlistment regularly falling off the ship and into the Army.

Shaded Troops were a huge piece of the Northern Army. Brought up in independent regiments they endured noteworthy partiality and setbacks. At Fort Pillow on the Mississippi Confederate Soldiers slaughtered various dark Union officers that progressed toward becoming prisoners.
