Why did many state governments in the south oppose conscription?

State government in south oppose conscription as there was disproportionate impact on the poorest regions. In the sense, men and women will be mainly hired in military from the poorest regions of the southern states. Wealthy people had the option of getting away from this draft by just paying a small amount of $300. By paying $300, they will be excused from the draft and only the poor class will be pushed in this draft.
