10 Rich man poor man Conscription & class conflict Hiring substitutes Exempting (managerial role 20+ slaves) Few shirked military duty in reality Become critical of planter led govt. Opposition not class based Regional perhaps (upland) Most commit until the end Only wavers when battered to submission

11 States Rights Need full cooperation of your states Central govt. to make most of resources Some states don’t want Richmond to have too much power Resist many of Davis’s efforts Governor Joseph Brown – not working for the common cause e.g. opposed conscription and exempted thousands from the draft by enrolling them into bogus state militia units Most do cooperate All 28 state governors were commited Impressed slaves and declared martial law

12 Died of Democracy? 1862 Davis (quote) Protecting individual rights seemed a main aim David Donald – cost them the war NOT convincing Idea that Davis could create a government that suppressed civil liberties and that it would have won if so is nonsense Davis was fighting for traditional American values 1862 Davis declares martial law Suspended the writ of habeas corpus so draft evaders are not apprehended NOT total freedom of speech Vigilantes destroy opposition papers
