The correct answer here would be that "conscription was despotism."
Despotism
refers to the absolute rule of the a single entity who rules as it
choose. That was usually a monarch but it can be any kind of government
that obstructs the rights of its citizens. It is used to describe the
abuse of power and the oppressing of people. Here conscription is
despotism as the government is oppressing the people and their rights
given to them by the 13th Amendment and it is abusing its power.

In his poem "For a Lady I Know," Countee Cullen depicts the clash between the upper and lower classes of society. The poem is assumed to be about upper-class white Americans who treat African Americans poorly. He points out the audacity of the upper class to presume that African Americans would continue to wait on them forever, even after death:
She even thinks that up in heaven
Her class lies late and snores
While poor black cherubs rise at seven
To do celestial chores.
This poem suggests that white Americans don’t want to help improve the lifestyle of poor African Americans but are comfortable with the minority races serving them forever.
