When Watson said rich mans war poor man's fight he was referring to?

This was being said on both sides. In the South, a lot of poor whites felt they were fighting for rich planters, not in uniform, to continue their life of feudal privilege. In the North, there was a bad law that allowed highly-placed young men to pay a substitute to enlist in their place. This not only caused much resentment; it flooded the armies with men of low ability and dubious character, supplied by unscrupulous brokers. As for this Mr. Watson, I don't know who he was, and would be interested to know.

Why did many poor Southerners complain that the Civil War was a rich man's fight?

They said it was a rich man's war and a poor man's fight. That was because a lot of dirt-poor troops were having to fight for the profits of rich landowners who were not in uniform. Northern troops were saying the same - because of the disastrous law that allowed rich young men to pay a substitute to enlist in their place.


Was Roman democracy true democracy?

No, the rich people wanted to get rid of the kings so they decided to get rid of them, but they couldn't do it on their own, so they decided to get the poor men to do it for them. But the poor men wanted something in return, so the rich people said ok, if you fight for us we wil give you power, so the poor men said yes to the rich people and they went to fight. When the fight was over and the poor men had won, the poor men went to ask for their power but instead the rich people didn't want to give them any power. And blah blah blah.
