Most states and counties were given quotas, and if they weren't filled with volunteers, there would be a draft. In some cases people would contribute money to bounty founds to encourage people to volunteer so that a draft could be avoided. Enlistment bounties ranged from a few dollars up to $100 in cash. Monthly salary was based on rank.
