As I said, the South in the beginning took a different outlook on what roles the general government should play.

Is that why it passed a conscription act that it forced on the states in April, 1862?

Add some meat to your posts. Show some numbers and some contemporary sources.

I don't know, seems the South was just following suit after lincoln's move in April of '61 (even under the Rebellion Act it was still conscription no matter what you call it) and then of course we can't forget the Draft Riots in '63 can we?
