The correct option is : B. Draft

Explanation:

The American Civil War was fought in United States of America, from the year 1861 till 1865. This civil war was fought between the Confederacy and the Union. The primary reason of this war was the enslavement of the black people.

During the first year of the war, both the parties had excess amount of manpower. But as the time passed, the number of volunteers decreased. To fulfill the need for manpower, both the sides used a draft law to force or encourage the people to volunteer.
