Why can the civil war be viewed as a rich man's war and a poor man's fight?
In the South, it was largely poor white trash who did not own slaves, fighting for rich slave-owners who were exempt from service. In the North, the draft laws allowed a rich man's son to pay a substitutwe to do his service for him. This was a very bad system that caused jealousy and resentment in the ranks, and the substitutes were largely deserters anyway. (If they were the right age, why weren't they already in uniform?)
