Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The New York City draft riots, which occurred in 1863 during the Civil War, were largely fueled by working-class individuals who felt that the draft unfairly targeted them and exempted wealthier individuals. This sentiment supports the idea that the Civil War was perceived by some as a "rich man's war and a poor man's fight."
