The southern states reacted negatively to the election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860. They were shocked and protested against Abraham Lincoln's election because they were not in favor of his propaganda to free the slave states (which mostly were in the Southern parts).
Conscription means the forced enlisting of the people of a
county into national services, the term is mostly used for military
enrollments. In Rome the conscription was enforced to a certain or some certain
classes of people which left a little choice for them to choose the skilled
people. For example people chosen for military might have come from farmer
class who know nothing about operating a war machine or anything about the war
or military which ultimately weakened the Rome. If there are less farmers in the country that simply mean there is less food to process also, another was a country could get weak.
Or the elite class was left out who already were not contributing to the good of society.
I could be wrong, but i believe it was September 3, 1783. Hope this was helpful! :)
