Sam Watkins was correct in saying that the Civil War was a rich man's war and a poor man's fight. There were more poor farmers fighting than rich plantation owners.
Other than community colleges; colleges and universities cost money. Rich men could afford both lawyers and college. The poor man got drafted.
"A rich man's war, but a poor man's fight."
One major way that rich and poor were affected differently in the Civil War was the draft. If a more wealthy person had 300 dollars, he could buy his way out of the draft or pay someone to replace him.
Merchants, doctors, professors, lawyers, and some prosperous tradesmen were considered to be middle class in the British Colonial period in America
That's just what powerful governments do to poor citizens. -Just like the USA made thousands of poor or ill educated Americans go to Vietnam while the rich and well educated remained in US.
A tailor in colonial times was neither rich or poor, but lived a modest life. The tailors in that time period were needed by both the rich citizens and the poor.
nothing their poor
Kenya NEVER was commonwealthy because blacks are there and black people are poor.

Most people didnt want to fight the british in the revolution, the colonies were too poor to maintain a good army

Because they were unemployed and far from home. They may have had a vague feeling that they were 'hitting back' at the slave-owners. But I doubt if that motivated them any more than the poor white Southern trash supposedly rushing to defend slavery, but in fact just raring for a darn good fight.
because rich people pay poor people to fight in the war because they don't want to fight in the war
