Pro Conscription Dbq
• Enlisting more soldiers would have increased the chances of winning the war thus not wasting past efforts

• Sending more soldiers to help would gain the trust and respect from France and England

• It was the ideal way to gain a lot more soldiers for not many were volunteering
• Many were excluded and not given the right to vote; it was very biased towards those who vote pro-conscription

• Conscription meant anyone who was capable of fighting, had to fight, whether they refused to or not

• It wasn’t necessary. Canada wasn't in any threat of danger, they had already sent many soldiers, and they needed men for their own country in preparations if they ever got attacked.

I believe that the reasons against

    In 1924, Congress approved a payment to World War 1 veterans that they would receive a $1,000 bonus for their victory in the war by the year 1945. But in 1932, those veterans decided that they wanted their bonuses early due to the financial troubles that were arising. Hoover rejected their appeal because he was concerned with balancing the budget. The federal government also didn’t have the money; they were broke too at the time because of the Great Depression. In response, in June, over 20,000 veterans who called themselves the “Bonus Army” (or the “Bonus Expeditionary Force”) marched to Washington, build camps around the city, and vowed to remain there until Congress approved legislation to pay the bonus.…

    Canada has now been in Kandahar for almost six years fighting by the sides of the strongest country, the United States. The attacks of September 11, 2001 undoubtedly affected not only the United States but the rest of the world as well. Canada, being their neighbours, took an oath and stepped in. There, of course, are controversies facing Canada taking part in this war. Some being that we should stay, being as we are dependent on U.S.A.

    In the civil war soldiers died in large numbers since the medical knowledge at that time was little so most soldiers never stood a chance even after enduring single gunshot wounds. At the beginning of the war both sides had many volunteers. Later on, people stopped volunteering and there was a shortage in the number of soldiers required to fight. As a general in the Union army I would use conscription to get more soldiers to enroll. Seeing as this is an unpopular method, people who wouldn’t want to join the army would have to pay a fee, commutation fee, to avoid being drafted. This would ensure that I get soldiers and for those who wouldn’t want to be drafted the fees the paid would provide finance for the war.…

    since February 2002, approximately 15, 000 Canadian soldiers have served in Afghanistan. 78 Canadian Forces (CF) casualties have occurred, including one diplomat. The role of the Canadian Forces in Afghanistan is often debated. Many disagree with the mission and want the CF to leave Afghanistan now. Doing this however would only be failing the Canadian commitment to the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) and NATO. Canada should keep its commitment and remain in Afghanistan until the mission is complete. Afghanistan is in state that is almost beyond third-world. However, the mission that Canada is currently involved in has improved the country drastically and will continue to do so as long as the mission continues. So why take the…

    Conscription Act Dbq

    Iver Bernstein, the researcher of the draft riots, claims: “The provisions of the law highlighted three explosive issues in mid-century New York City: relations between the wealthy and the poor, between blacks and whites, and between the city and the nation”. First of all, the Act assumed a three hundred dollar payoff or a possibility to replace a conscript with someone else. “The Conscription Act was less easily tolerated: the baldly inequitable three-hundred-dollar commutation clause seemed a naked exercise of class power by the wealthy”. It denounced the insecurity of the New York lower classes, which have no way except joining the army.…

    Another important argument against conscription is of a psychological nature. For many sensitive young men military service is hell because they are forced to do things which they hate in the name of discipline. The army requires from everyone to be obedient and submissive and all the individuals who do not want to fit into this pattern are frequently ridiculed, humiliated and treated in a very brutal way. As a result, they suffer terribly and this may lead to terrible damage to their psyche or even suicide. Therefore, from a psychological point of view, conscription may cause more evil than good.…
