| Florida Conscripts |
|
The passage of the conscript act by the Confederate Congress in 1862 declared all men between eighteen and forty five years of age subject to military duty, except those designated by the States as necessary for State service and exemptions specified by law. Exempted were preachers, school teachers, overseers of 20 negroes, manufacturers and their laborers, editors and printers. Each state, through its own conscript bureau, carried out the law by collecting and forwarding the conscripts to the Confederate armies.
