<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.
There were no mercenary units recruited by either the North or South to fill the armies. However, Union recruitment officers made a point to greet incoming immigrant ships and impress military-age immigrants into the army.</span>

Knight represents everyone who goes through life and searches for something ideal, and Eldorado represents those unreachable ideals.
Explanation:
<u>Knight represents everyone who is going through life and who is searching for someone.</u> The journey described in the poem is life, presented as an endless search for something better and greater symbolized in the glory and gold of Eldorado.
Therefore, <u>Eldorado itself presents some almost unreachable good, the ideals people hold and crave and search for their whole life.</u> In this poem and everyday communication, Eldorado is used as a symbol of yearning and symbol of the promised place.
Some analyses even think Poe saw Eldorado as the symbol of death – it is the place which knight can reach only after a long journey and suffering. This analysis is explained by the thought that <u>Ideal is unreachable.</u> In the Christian tradition, ideal doesn't exist in this world, but only in the realms of heaven, which means after death.
