The Senate is very wealthy and always has been. Most of the men in it have been lawyers or busniness men of some sort. Many are multi millionaires and are from old established Washington families. To run for the office today requires money, connections, and power.

Why did people in the south refer the civil war as rich mans war and poor mans fight?

People in the South referred to the Civil War as "The rich mans' war and the poor mans' fight" because the North [the rich men] due to the industrial revolution had more money and you tactics and weapons one might use in a major war. While the South [the poor men] were still economically based through agriculture and did not have the extra money the North had because they stayed that way and did not industrialised the South had to use more common weapons and different tactics to match up with the weapons they had to use.
