The correct answer is D; Poor men could not avoid the draft, but rich men with more than 20 slaves could pay to have someone replace them on the battlefield.

Further Explanation:

The Northern Draft allowed men to pay $300 to get out of being drafted. They could also hire a replacement man to fight in their place with their own money.

The Southern Draft did not allow the poorer men to pay money or have someone to fight in their place. However, if a man owned 20 slaves they could then pay for someone to fight in their place. During the war, this number was changed to owning only 15 slaves to get out of the draft. It was never changed so that it was fair to others who owned only one or two slaves. When they changed it to 15 slaves, the owners still had to pay a few hundred dollars also.
