Abraham Lincoln: Alternative History?

Not the military. Military members do not pay state taxes for the state they are in. Did you not know that? They also are not supposed to vote in the state they are in.

Says who?

Easy for you to say. You were not drafted against your will. The wealthy were allowed to buy out of the draft, and Lincoln used that money to fund the war.

The Confederacy also instituted a draft, and the wealthy were able to get out of it by either paying a bribe, getting some other poor fool to serve in his place, or making the excuse that if they had more than 20 slaves, someone had to keep an eye on them!
