The  song " Fortunate Son" represents war. back then the government came to your house and forced you in the war. If you were the fortunate type then you paid the government off to not be sent to war. Unlike many others who lived in poverty had no choice but to be sent to war. The song states a guy was not fortunate and he could not pay his way out, this is what many people dealt with back then. Just as the song states " He ain't no fortunate son".

I believe the song was effective as it hit high rank when it came out. the song has you really thinking about how people really lived during this difficult time, how the government had basic control over you unless you had money. How would you react to this situation? would you try to change anything? would you fight for what you believed in?

The song tried to promote a message to the people, but the government did not show any interest.
The government did not care. The message in the song reached out to people as they understood what everyone else was feeling about the war.

The song  argues that the fathers of the fortunate sons "senators"-"millionaire" who got America involved in the war, now the poor have to pay the ultimate price.

The unfortunate sons of America who had no inherited wealth to protect them, the draft is likely to send them off to the war, off to fight and maybe die

the song brings a message about war. Why is there war, why must we be forced to join the war?, why must families be separated, why is it ok for the rich to buy there way out , the ones who lived in poverty had to suffer more? The message  talks about young lives having no choice to be sent to war, and was forced from their families home. People believed this was wrong and did not believe in it.
