Final answer:
The quoted statement does not appear to be attributed to a specific individual and is about the historical context and implications of conscription or the draft in relation to the 13th Amendment.
Step-by-step explanation:
The quote "Conscription is slavery, plain and simple. And it was made illegal under the 13th amendment, which prohibits involuntary servitude" does not appear to be attributed to a specific individual in the provided materials. The 13th Amendment indeed made slavery and involuntary servitude unconstitutional, except as punishment for a crime. However, the Supreme Court has generally held that the draft is not a violation of the 13th Amendment. Conscription or the draft has been implemented by both the Confederate and Union governments during the Civil War via the Conscription Act and the Enrollment Act, respectively. These laws sparked controversy, especially since there were provisions allowing for substitutions and financial payments to avoid service, favoring the wealthy and inciting claims that it was "a rich man's war but a poor man's fight."
