Oh, dude, the main differences between the Union and Confederacy draft laws were like night and day. The Union had a national draft system, while the Confederacy relied on individual states to handle conscription. Also, the Union allowed for substitutes and a draft exemption for a fee, while the Confederacy didn't mess around with that kind of stuff. So, yeah, those were the major variations between the two sides' draft laws.
The Confederacy
Union - though most Unionists were never Abolitionists

On October 16, 1859 John Brown and 21 followers arrived at Harpers Ferry. Brown had killed slavery supporters in the Kansas Territory, and then he wanted to spark a slave revolt in Virginia. Brown and his men attacked and captured the federal arsenal, where the weapons were stored. They took hostages, but no slaves came to join the revolt. United States Marines led by Colonel Robert E. Lee rushed to Harpers Ferry to capture John Brown, put him on trial and execute him. The South (Confederacy) were shocked by his violent acts. His raid started the tension between the North (Union) and the South (Confederacy). Later, many white Southerners blamed the North for Brown's acts. That is the first event that triggered the Civil War.
