Why does the civil war basically not exist in American literature
>>24864314niggers
>>24864314Because all of the shitlib redditors and larping trannies who have overtaken the modern Civil War discourse, and transformed the narrative into the righteous anti-fascist north standing up to the treasonous nazi south, all fear this man.
>>24864314What the fuck are you talking about? The 20s - 60s was full of either the wild west or civil war.

>>24864314All these sort of threads should be used to make an official /lit/ chart.CIVIL WAR LITERATURE CHARTTechnically of course we should not include <pic attached> since /his/ exists, but it deserves a mention anyway.
>Foote's trilogy>Gone with the Wind>Absalom, Absalom!
>>24864715>/his/ existsnono it doesn't
>>24864444Her shoulder is cocked back, they're wider than they appear. That's a man.
OK, next up: trash but pretty good trash. Roughly on a level with Lonesome Dove I would say. Maybe the characterization is a bit cruder.

If you don't want out-and-out non-fiction then <pic attached> is a sort-of novel basically telling the story of the battle from a bunch of viewpoints.
This doesn't get talked about much these days but it’s pretty good. He never identifies the specific battle but it's pretty much known to be Chancellorsville.
>>24864734This novel is os fucking good why Americans cuck themselves out of a masterpiece that belongs to the canon is beyond me. Is it because it is written by a woman?
OK, it already got mentioned but let's acknowledge it anyway. The Civil War is only present in the background but that's sort of true for Gone With The Wind too.
>>24864314it's like asking why there are no video games about WW2there were approximately 100000000000000000 such books created in the 1900s all the way up to the 70s. and while there are interesting things to examine, there aren't many angles you can approach it frompeople got civil war fatigue
OK, no-one has heard of this but never mind. It's a funny little book. Basically it's Lee's horse in retirement after the war telling his life story to a cat. The trick is that the horse doesn't really understand a lot of what happened (he thinks the South won the war, for example) so you have to deduce what he's actually talking about half the time.Will only really work if you know the history pretty well I think.
Pretty well-known. Bit like Shiloh, except it’s Gettysburg.
>>24864762>by the author of watership downhuh. I'll give it a try.
it does, I forget the name of the book thoughI remember my 4th grade teacher reading from a book about the civil warshe cried during the reading and said she couldn't finish it and we only got to probably around page 30-40from what I remember, it was about two young redcoats that were also close friends and one of the friends was bleeding out as the other friend carried himhe was impaled by a musket I thinkI was confused as to why my teacher would cry over itI guess I was too young to understand. does anyone know the name of the book for the cause?
>>24864762>when your stalking-horse is literally a horse
>>24864832oh yeah, they were fighting in the snow and the book descriptively told about how the blood stained the snow as they both trudged back, if that helsp anyone know which book it was
>>24864832>Civil War>redcoatsAnon...are you even American?
>>24864983Anon, the English had three civil wars. He's probably thinking about those.
>>24865020>three civil warsjacobites don't really count do they
>>24864983yes, and the red coats were canadian... and they were forced to canada from the south of america
>>24865262oh shit, I think I am confusedI think that the enemy being "red" meant that the confederacy was the south, and the the redcoats, being red as well, were from a different warmy bad I was confused, also upon doing more research, I figured out that the redcoats were infact just british... I got the impression somehow that they were french as well... which is what lead me to believing why canada is mostly french>>24865020so the 3 wars are the american revolution, the confederate war, and the war on the indians in navajo?
The American Civil War was a Jesuit machination. Power-struggle theatre.
>>24865183They don't, you're right.
The Red Badge of Courage is America’s most famous war novel and it is about the civil war. Ambrose Bierce, the novel’s greatest detractor, also wrote a lot of civil war fiction
>>24864444she has no breasts
>>24864314>>24865642Cold Mountain was set in that period also and was a very successful debut novel. There's also Gore Vidal's Lincoln.
>>24865672>Cold MountainThat movie was cheesy as fuck. Couldn't imagine bothering to read the book.
>>24864314Red Badge?Gone with the Wind?Killer Angels?There's tons of it
>>24865868What about Ride With the Devil?
>>24864734>>24864747yes. Look at the respons>HURR DURR TRASHGWTW is a great book
>>24864314very impregnable tummy
>>24864331According to that narrative, if 185,000 White men from the north laid down their lives for the slaves, why the fuck do they act like all white people should suffer?
