The Civil War was a traumatic and destructive conflict that remains the bloodiest
war in US history. Realism began around the end of the war in 1865. Rejecting
romantic-era ideals that focused on allegorical characters, symbolic settings, and
dramatic subjects, realism depicted ordinary people in everyday situations.
What aspects of the Civil War might have caused this dramatic shift in style, form,
and thematic discourse in American literature? Please put in your own words or let me know if it’s not thank you so much
