War in Literature: Civil War
built 635 days ago
Arguably, factors leading up to the Civil War were in place by the turn of the 19th century, and the chasm between North and South grew between 1800 and 1860. Conflict came to a head when the 1860 Presidential election of anti-slavery Republican Abraham Lincoln spurred several southern states to secede. The Confederate States of America organized under its own Constitution and elected its own officials, including President Jefferson Davis. War between the Union and Confederacy officially began at Fort Sumter on 12 April 1861.

Despite the solemn subject, Civil War themes found their way into humorous works as well. This was particularly true in the South, which lost the most over the course of the conflict. Some scholars posit that this work follows a time-honored tradition of converting true experiences via exaggeration, boastfulness, and whimsy. Others point out that satire was a popular genre for the treatment of all subjects, particularly politics, during the 19th century.
