Question

in the confederacy, a military draft
was not considered necessary until the last months of the civil war.
never allowed for the hiring of substitutes.
compelled slaves to serve as soldiers.
aroused opposition from poorer whites for its expensive substitute policy.
forced all white males between the ages of eighteen and twenty - five to serve for three years.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: The Confederacy had a draft earlier than the last months of the Civil War, so this is incorrect.
• Option 2: The Confederate draft did allow hiring substitutes, so this is wrong.
• Option 3: Slaves were not compelled as soldiers (they were later used in non - combat roles, but not drafted as soldiers), so this is incorrect.
• Option 4: The Confederate draft's substitute policy (where one could hire a substitute by paying, which was expensive) did arouse opposition from poorer whites who couldn't afford it, so this is correct.
• Option 5: The age and service duration details are incorrect for the Confederate draft.

Answer:

D. aroused opposition from poorer whites for its expensive substitute policy.
