They said it was a rich man's war and a poor man's fight.
That was because a lot of dirt-poor troops were having to fight for the profits of rich landowners who were not in uniform.
Northern troops were saying the same - because of the disastrous law that allowed rich young men to pay a substitute to enlist in their place.

What does it mean when people said the civil war was a rich mans war and a poor mans fight?
Like most wars it centered largely around economics. The wealthy plantation owners of the south feared that the federal government would someday abolish slavery thus costing them a valuable source of labor. The south had a good deal of wealth and the northern merchants feared losing these markets. That is why the north would not let the southern states go freely. The war began as a fight to preserve the union of states but later in the war Lincoln brilliantly issued the Emancipation Proclamation thus turning the war from a fight to preserve the union into one to free slaves. This stroke of brilliance from Lincoln ensured that France and Britain would not enter into the war on the side of the Confederacy. Doing so would have been politically risky for those European powers who had recently themselves abolished slavery.
