Proposals include paying half the bounty on completion of service and the rest in quarterly installments, holding substitutes or their providers liable for immediate service, and even abolishing the substitute system with confiscation of drafted men’s property and disfranchisement for deserters. It frames these changes as a Union triumph linked to Lincoln’s re-election and questions whether Unionists will celebrate with cannon fire.
