Was Sam Watkins correct to say that the US Civil War was a rich man's war and a poor man's fight?

I believe so. The Civil War was fought because men with money both in the government and not couldn't settle major issues and that lead to war. Those rich men didn't fight the war. They let middle-class and poor men who didn't really care about the issues at hand because they didn't affect them fight it.
