Jimmy Carter issued an amnesty to all Draft Dodgers in 1977 as part of his policy of cultural reconciliation since the war in Vietnam was over.
The so-called Committee of Five that was selected to draft the Declaration consisted of John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Robert R. Livingston and Roger Sherman. Jefferson did the entire initial draft. Adams and Franklin made some changes before it was submitted to Congress. Sherman and Livingston did not contribute to the drafting itself.
Northerners and southerners had varied reactions to the new draft laws during the Civil War. In the North, many opposed the draft, leading to protests and riots, particularly the New York City Draft Riots in 1863. Southerners, facing a more desperate situation, largely accepted the draft as a necessary measure to defend their homeland, although there were also instances of resistance and desertion. Overall, responses reflected regional tensions and differing views on the war and personal sacrifice.
Jefferson showed the first draft to Benjamin Franklin and John Adams. He wrote the first draft in only 2 days.
Thomas Jefferson wrote Almost the entire first draft.

They can see why the Northern law of rich families paying a substitute was wrong. It not only caused resentment of rich young men who were seen as draft dodgers.

(These men were called Bounty Jumpers.)

The length of time that draft dodgers went to prison varied greatly depending on the individual circumstances. Some draft dodgers faced no prison time at all if they were able to avoid detection or if they were granted amnesty. Others who were caught and convicted could face anywhere from a few months to several years in prison. Overall, there was no standard length of time for draft dodgers to go to prison as it depended on individual cases and legal outcomes.
at least for the duration of the war, minumum 3 years however, maximum life as you could be tried for treason for draft dodging, general about 50% of draft dodgers serve a 10-15 year sentence. In veitnam, draft dodgers were incarcirated for the duration of the war plus an additional sentence of 4-6 years was assessed at the completion of the war in most cases..however there are still about 3-5 percent of draft dodgers from veitnam that are still incarcerated.
