they were hired as mercenaries...essentially, they were paid to fight.

In 1700 there was no paid office anywhere in the world called "President."
There are corporate executives who get paid much more than the President of the US is paid, however, people do not seek the office of President because of the salary (even if they were concerned primarily with money, very lucrative book deals will follow, after they leave office, and well paid speaking engagements - former Presidents do very well). However, it's not really about the money. People seek to become President because they believe that they can use the power of that office to make America and the world better. Therefore yes, the President is paid enough.
Grover Cleveland, 22nd President

President Grover Cleveland (22nd & 24th President) who was first elected in 1884 avoided the Civil War conscription by paying a substitute to serve in his place in the Union Army. This was entirely legal under the Conscription Act of 1863 and made President Cleveland the U.S.'s first "draft dodger."

Grover Cleveland paid money to avoid the draft for the Civil War. (This was a legal option which he took advantage of.)
Slaves did not get paid other than room and board. They weren't granted any rights until President Lincoln emancipated them after the Civil War.
