- Summary:
- Examining metaphor, argument, and figures of speech in the oratory of the Confederacy, Fritz (history, The Victoria College, TX) suggests that the Civil War did cause southerners to reconsider some of their long-held beliefs about their natural environment, their honor, their slaves, and their northern opponents. In making this determination Fritz also looks at audience response to speeches, thus touching on the average citizen's response to the war as well.
