Was sam watkins correct in saying that the civil war was a rich mans war and a poor mans fight?

It could certainly look that way. In the North, a draftee could pay a substitute to join up in his place. This obviously favoured rich families. And the arrangement was often brokered by cynical profiteers who would send all kinds of physically or mentally unfit men into the army. Profiteers would also make a fortune supplying the armies with inferior weapons, equipment and horses. These profiteers were loathed and despised by both sides.
