In the north,a man could avoid conscription by hiring a substitute.This practice was unheard of for the most part in the south. In southern culture of the period,men had a very martial attitude.Most southern soldiers were small farmers,and had a very strong opinion of what a man's duties were to his nation and his family. To them,the idea of getting someone else to do their duty for them was hateful,and not a practice to engage in. This information can be found in "The South Was Right" by James and Walter Kennedy and also the US Library of Congress.
During the US Civil War, rich men could pay others to take their place. During the Vietnam War, rich men entered wealthy colleges to obtain "draft deferrments."

It earned this title because so many poor men, and poor slaves were fighting for money, and were forced to fight.

That much is true in almost any conflict, the middle and lower class do the fighting and the dying while the wealthy and privileged pull the strings. Very few slave owners ever carried a rifle or a musket. Rural farmers came out of the Southern States--Kentucky, Tennessee, etc; unlike Northerners, they could not afford the legal practice used in Northern states of "buying" a stand-in for their military duties. Towards the end of the war, plantation owners and the wealthy landed class in the South took up arms to bolster the tremendous losses they suffered in a last heroic effort to "save the glorious South".
The military-minded South thought they could wipe out any namby-pamby Northern troops in a few quick battles. The North assumed the South was bluffing when it talked about seceding from the USA and provoking a civil war.
A policy in Northern hospitals to offer beds and treatment to those who could pay
He was to some extent, but he wasn’t a man to brag or socialize with others. I have read that he was pretty much alone and that is what he wanted. He basically lived in his workshop. The people who could buy or commission his work were the Church and wealthy patrons..
