Southern society was made up of many social and economic classes of citizens. different classes of people had different experiences when the war finally came.

how did the civil war impact poor men differently than it did rich men in the south?

question options:

all poor men were forced to fight in the war, whereas rich men were encouraged to stay at home and maintain the plantations.

it was policy that only men with slaves fought, so while poor men were generally excused, rich men made up a large portion of the army.

the south could not afford to spare anyone, so poor and rich alike fought side by side and without exemption.

poor men could not avoid the draft, but rich men with more than 20 slaves could pay to have someone replace them on the battlefield.
