And many large sections of the South started to rebell from the draft and fighting. West Virginia broke off....some of the state governors refused to send money and men to the Con-federate central government. Divisions in the mountains led to family feuds that lasted for generations. It most definitely was NOT a united con-federacy.Fun tidbit, when the drafts started in the South, wealthy slaveowners who owned more then I think 40 slaves, did not have to serve, even though they were the driving force behind secession and the war. Rich Man's War. Poor Man's Fight!
