I have been told that an ancestor paid $300 and therefore did not have to serve in the war. Was this possible at the time? This man later went on to serve in the Iowa State legistlature. If he did indeed buy his way out of military service, would this act been held against him or was it an accepted practice? Thanks for any information on this subject.
