Think of how effective a form of protest it would be for tens of thousands of men to be sent to prison because of their opposition to the draft.

That makes perfect message-board sense, but in the real world I don't think that applies.
For one thing, I don't think thousands of young men going to prison would have made any difference. For another thing, it sounds like giving people an "option" of going to war or going to jail. Not a whole lot of "freedom", which they would have allegedly been fighting for, involved in that moral quandary.
