Questa è la raccolta delle registrazioni alla guerra civile americana del 1863-1865. In quel periodo vi furono quattro arruolamenti nelle liste di leva comprendenti 776.000 individui. I documenti contengono la classe, il distretto congressuale, la contea, lo stato, la residenza, il nome, l'età al 1° luglio 1863, l'appartenenza razziale, la professione, lo stato civile, il luogo di nascita, il servizio militare precedente e note.

This is a collection of lists of Civil War Draft Registrations. There were four drafts between 1863 and 1865, which included 3.175 million records. Historically, the 1863 draft was one of the most tenuous moments in the Union outside of the battles fought on Northern soil. Most of the concern was due to the draft riots that took place in New York in 1863.

These records include 631 volumes of registries and are basically lists of individuals who registered for the draft. The records are split into two different classes, Class I are those aged 20-35 as well as those 36-45 and unmarried. Class II is everyone else that registered.

The registry contains information including:

Class
Congressional district
County
State
Residence
Name
Age on July 1, 1863
Race
Profession
Married status
Birthplace
Former military service
Remarks

The actual draft registration records are available in NARA regional archives and sometimes contain more information than the consolidated lists.
