As the conflict continues, the North and the South sustain severe losses of military personnel. The Confederates had already instituted a draft in the spring of 1862, but now it becomes necessary for the Union to take similar steps. Certain categories of people are exempted from service. In the South that includes pharmacists and anyone in charge of 20 or more slaves. In the North the fact that anyone can buy their way out for $200 triggers major riots in New York City. The involvement of blacks in the Union war effort increases dramatically in the spring of 1863 after the Final Emancipation Proclamation is issued. As a result slavery is eroded in border states like Maryland, Kentucky, and Missouri.
