816 Office of Receiver of Commutation Money, 1863 Receipt for $300 for Draftee to Avoid the Draft.Yonkers, New York. November 28,
1863. Duplicate receipt for payment of $300 by James McLean from the
Town of Yonkers, “….who was drafted into the service of the U.S. on the
24th day of September 1863…..the sum of Three Hundred (300) Dollars,
to obtain, under Section 13 of the “Act for enrolling and calling out the
National Forces, and for other purposes,” approved March 3rd, 1863,
discharge from further liability under the draft”. Signed by the “Receiver
of Commutation Money”, VF to XF condition. The Enrollment Act,
enacted March 3, 1863, also known as the Civil War Military Draft
Act, was a legislation passed by the United States Congress during the
American Civil War to provide fresh manpower for the Union Army. A
form of conscription, the controversial act required the enrollment of
every male citizen and those immigrants who had filed for citizenship
between ages twenty and forty-five. Federal agents established a quota
of new troops due from each congressional district. In some cities,
particularly New York City, enforcement of the act sparked civil unrest as
the war dragged on, leading to the New York Draft Riots on July 13–16.
It replaced the previous Militia Act of 1862.���������������������������������Est.
