      ab: The writer considers what led the U.S. to abandon a long tradition of a volunteer military when it introduced a harsh federally-run draft system for nearly 40 years in the 20th century. He contends it happened because of a much stronger central government, a change in the political ideas of the elite, and the Civil War draft. He demonstrates the impact of each of these factors on the introduction of a draft in 1917.
