<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.

Hitler and Mussolini were more similar than different. Here is a list of reasons why this is the case.
1) Both rose to power during a time of crisis/instability- Hitler rose through the political ranks after the Germany economy suffered terribly due to the conditions of the Treaty of Versailles. Mussolini also rose to power at the same time, thanks to the instability of the Italian government.
2) Both eliminated other political parties- Mussolini and Hitler both got rid of their political opposition through force during their reigns.
3) Both censored the media- Controlling the media is one way in which both controlled their societies. By showing themselves in the best possible light, Hitler and Mussolini gained support from their citizens.
4) Both were totalitarian leaders- This meant that both men had complete control over their respective countries.
