What does this illustration say about the type of person who got drafted into the Civil War? Would you consider this illustration to be supportive of the draft? Why or why not?

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although the question is incomplete and does not provide the cartoon or other references, we can answer the question if it refers to the Confederated draft.

This Confederated draft refers to the draft in the southern states, where people supported slavery because slaves were a basic part of the economy in the South. The draft enrolled people in the Confederate Army. However, if the individual was rich and from a prominent family that owned more than 20 slaves, it could avoid being part of the draft. Otherwise, all white men from 18 to 35 years old had to be part of the army to fight the Union troops in the Civil War.
