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?

The war had negative effects on everyone, including authors. For example, when the war was over, writers, in their majority, began to put their war violent experience into writing, as a way to get those feelings off their cheast; therefore, the style, form, and the thematic of the discourse in American literature would be changed. In addition, the American Civil war affected the people in psicological terms, becuase they started questioning their morality and reality; they started having a different vision of the world.

Hope this helps!
