<span>They drafted, or conscripted, most of their troops. For the North, it was the first draft in U.S. history and not well received (see the New York Draft Riots). The Union draft also allowed men to pay others to take their place in the draft.
The Southern draft was enforced by the Confederate Home Guard, technically made up of men too old or too young to serve at the front. My ggggrandfather was a native of Winston County, Alabama, and was shot in the back when he refused the Home Guard's request that he report the Confederate Army. (Winston County, btw, tried to succeed from Alabama when Alabama succeeded from the Union earning it the name of the Free State of Winston.)
Early on, both sides filled their armies with volunteers. However, as the war went on and casulties mounted, volunteers became few and far between, resulting in the draft.

The economical boost of selling of cotton lead to the cotton gin being created during this period of time. Unfortunately, more cotton being produced meant more slaves being needed.
Answer:
Beetles began devouring Sugar Cane field in Queensland, Australia in 1930, so Farmers got desperate.Tales quickly spread of a toad that loved nothing more than to dine on cane beetles.The thinking went that a few hundred cane toads which can grow as large as dinner plates and weigh up to 4.5 pounds (2 kilograms) would gobble up all the cane beetles so that farmers could get back to farming.
In 1935, two suitcases of South American cane toads made the journey from Puerto Rico where a similar scheme was successful to Hawaii and then on to Australia. Rather than hang out in the cane fields though, those original 102 toads set out across the continent and have mushroomed in number to more than 1.5 billion.
Today, toads have conquered more than 386,000 square miles (1 million square kilometers) of Australia.
