Question

Description acceptable. Certain provisions of this policy caused many opponents to found nominal “apothecary shops” that were sparsely stocked with a few dry goods. Opponents of this policy formed roving guerilla bands like the “Red Strings,” also known as the Heroes of America. By expanding the size of state civil service, the anti-administration governors Joseph Brown and Zebulon Vance were able to stonewall implementation of this policy. The second bill enacting this policy added an unpopular exception dubbed the (*) “Twenty Negro Law.” (10[2])This policy, (10[2])the first of its kind in North America, preceded a Northern counterpart that sparked a violent riot among Irish residents of New York in 1863. (10[2])For (10[1])10 points, (-5[1])substitution sidestepped what policy (10[1])used to reinforce the Army of Northern Virginia? ■END■ (10[1]0[2])

ANSWER: conscription in the Confederate States of America [accept the draft in place of “conscription”; accept the Confederacy, CSA, Southern, or the government of Jefferson Davis in place of “Confederate”; prompt on conscription or the draft alone by asking “under what government?”; reject “US conscription,” “American conscription,” “Union conscription,” or other answers that suggest conscription in the North]
