• This paper aims to present the different forms of conscription that occurred in the province of Piaui during the years 1865 and 1866, the initial period of the Paraguayan War or The War of the Triple Alliance. It seeks to understand specifically how the recruitment process for the Army considered the marginalized poor, those designated as national guards who made an important work in the interior of the province, and the slaves expropriated from farms to serve the nation in the war. Finally, the article identifies how these social classes developed strategies of resistance to evade the military draft during the conflict. Adapted from the source document.
