Prior to 1863, the North filled the army's demand for troops through volunteer enlistments. The draft was not introduced until 1863, after the Union suffered major losses in battles such as Antietam and Fredericksburg. Bounty brokers and substitute brokers were also used to encourage men to enlist, but these were primarily used to supplement the volunteer system, rather than replace it. Foreign mercenaries were not used by the Union Army during the Civil War.
