Slavery was the goal, and the 100,000 soldiers called for the the leaders of the insurrection were enslaved as surely as any negro.

The orignal call to arms was met with volunteers on both sides

The Conscription Act of 1862 was enacted by the Confederate Government because at that time men were needed to fight in the war. Many men had volunteered when the American Civil War began. They thought the war would be over quickly at least in time for spring planting.

I am glad that you agree that the pretended confederate government felt the need to enslave whites to fight for slavery.
