I'm pretty sure they didn't, since they probably couldn't afford to.

Most Irishman in the Union army were fooled into enlisting. The army would set up recruitment tables on the docks and fool the immigrants into thinking it was mandatory, I'm sure some used the experience to rebel against the Brits, but it wasn't a major reason for Irish in the Union army.

And a lot of the American-born Irishmen refused to serve, even though there were conscriptions. How odd.

Thats a tall claim, do you have any proof whatsoever that they were draft dodging sailors, or is this just some biased BS you think is true but have no supporting evidence for?

Not all of them were draft dodgers, but the majority of the impressed sailors were British expatriots. The fact that they had become American citizens gave the US credibility. I cite eleventh grade history class from a Bulgarian history teacher. Apparently the Bulgarians have the world's best history ciriculum. There were a small number of born Americans impressed, but they were a smaller group than the British borns. The point I'm making is, however, that the war wouldn't have happened if the British weren't fighting the French.
