What did men do during the Civil War if they did not want to fight?

Explanation:

Men on both sides were inspired to fight by patriotism, state pride, the chance for adventure, steady pay. Union soldiers fought to preserve the Union; the common Confederate fought to defend his home. If they did not want to fight i doubt they could do anything about it they had to because it was either up the people to make a choice and either fight, try to take cover some where i assume or just let themselves get killed it does seem cruel but unfortunately that was how it occurred in those devastating times.

the revolution instituted a short-lived roman republic.

the court ruled that a state law that banned abortions (except to save the life of the mother) was unconstitutional

hope this : )
