So then when the Confederacy adopted conscription the year before the North passed their conscription act, was it because nobody wanted to fight for Southern independence?

I guess you need a refresher on this. For the government that believed in slavery, Conscription is not hypocrisy. For the government which claimed to be against slavery, conscription is slavery and that government is a hypocrite.

Also, those defending themselves from aggression and invasion should get more leeway than those who are instituting the aggression and invasion.

I would forgive the Poles for being brutal in putting down the Nazi invaders too.

Oh barf.

We're talking about motivation for those fighting, not for those forcing them to fight.

Yeah, and I imagine you call it the War of Polish Aggression, too.
