Because the Confederate Army were volunteers. No one was drafted.
I’m not sure where you got that information from but both armies drafted soldiers during the Civil War.

First, you've already been shown, using your own words against you, that they weren't traitors.
Secondly, it isn't the people doing it, it's a few snowflakes that get their feeling hurt by looking at a piece of metal.
I want them down because they glorify traitors and serve as monuments to your shitty racism.
But you're the one who argued we need them up because otherwise, you won't be able to remember who lost the Civil War.
Monuments and statues for Confederate soldiers are really no different than monuments and statues for Union soldiers. Both are simply meant to commemorate their sacrifice and help preserve their memory. There are millions of Americans that had past relatives who fought in the Civil War for both sides and millions who have no family connection to either side. On my dads side of the family I had a relative that fought for the Confederacy for Louisiana. We actually stopped at the cemetery in Delcambre, Louisiana where he is buried on a road trip once and went to his grave. It was surreal knowing that I was related to him and that if he would have died in the war I wouldn’t be here today. He wasnt a slave owner, most soldiers weren’t, and was dirt poor. When I was in Nashville a couple of years ago I went to a really pretty Confederate cemetery in Franklin, Tennessee and it was a similar experience. These were real people and most were just fighting to preserve their home or because they had to. I’ve been to Gettysburg too and the monuments there are great since it helps you understand better of where the soldiers were at during parts of the battle. It helps make the history stand out in my opinion and makes it more real than just having monuments for the Union. It was also cool to see the monument for the Texas regiments and where they were situated on the battlefield and where Pickett’s charge took place. It’s cool history. When I see a confederate monument or drive on a road named after a general to me it’s just a piece of and a reminder of American history. That being said if a local community decides to remove a statue or change the name of a street then I’m fine with that too, but just make sure the history is still protected in some way for future generations.
Then how are the monuments getting removed?
I answered it. By a few snowflakes that vote to remove them.
I noticed that you didn't address the FACT that, by your own words, those you call traitors actually were not traitors.
Your opioids and lack of education are combining to make you look foolish.
You're n-loving mentality is showing your level of inferiority.
and yet your heroes are still being made into razor blades.
And still serving a better purpose than those who asses you kiss.
your emotional issues arent relevant, the monuments are still going down.
That's OK. I still fly several flags of the Confederacy and until you're man enough to take them down, they'll still be up. The choice is yours.
you will be dead soon so its a nonissue

Where Do Confederate Monuments Go After They Come Down?
It takes more than a few people to vote on stuff, traitor.
Ideally, a landfill.
But I have always thought this country needs to have a Crimes Against Humanity museum dedicated to the victims of the southern slave economy, not unlike the U.S. Holocaust Museum (which I highly recommend, btw) --- Suitably, the remaining statutes of noted rebel traitors Robert E. Lee, Jefferson Davis, et al. could be displayed in a Hall of Shame in such a museum.
It's not shameful to stand up for the Constitution except to people like you.
The Confederates specifically rejected the Constitution you are pretending to care about here.
So you are standing up for the Constitution by defending monuments to traitors who renounced it?
