   Hi, all!   
      
   In "The Great Catsby", by F.Scott Fitzerald, I read this:   
      
   -----Beginning of the citation-----   
   The Carraways are something of a clan, and we have a tradition that we're   
   descended from the Dukes of Buccleuch, but the actual founder of my line was   
   my grandfather's brother, who came here in fifty-one, sent a substitute to the   
   Civil War, and started the wholesale hardware business that my father carries   
   on to-day.   
   ----- The end of the citation -----   
      
   What is "a substitute to the Civil War"?   
      
   Bye, all!   
   Alexander Koryagin
