My point has NOTHING to do with Confederate Conscription and you know it. Your invalid point about how the noble Yankees turned into anti slavery crusaders is hogwash. They were conscripted because most wanted no part in freeing the slaves.

But the fact is that very few of them were conscripted, and it’s just as easy to say that the confederates were conscripted (in far greater numbers) because most wanted no part in fighting to preserve slavery.
