Military Conscription in Lozère in the Beginning of the 19th Century
In the beginning of the 19th century in Northern Lozère, military conscription was refused in many different ways : and it was this refusal which revealed the position of each household and each individual relative to the rest of society. Leaving to a few, notably the landowners, the means of avoiding military service by buying a replacement, a recrute from amongst the poor who sees in his departure a way of earning some money ; conscription was far from egalitarian. Others sought exemption or dispensation using variety of ploys ; from the fabrication of false papers to voluntary self-mutilation. However, when all these attempts have failed, there remains the most dangerous and least prestigious way of expressing one's refusal : defiance. In this case runagates and deserters were hunted down by the police whilst their families had to bear the full weight of keeping the garrison in board and lodging. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
