I never knew the number of citizens in the Confederate States, but, if the number is 5,000,000 and I don't doubt it, I wonder why they only fielded an Army of 500,000 according to another post on this board. Seems to me that if that is the case, there must have been a lot in the south that were in opposition to the seperation. If I am not mistaken there was a draft. Where there draft riots like in New York at that time?
