Excerpt from Reflections of the Civil War in Southern Humor

In this study I have attempted to represent all the types of humor written in the South between the beginning of the Civil War and the beginning of World War I, specifically 1861 and 1914, including war memoirs, nov els, plays, short stories, poetry, and songs. After a survey of humor written during the war, I discuss the soldier, the Negro, the poor white, and the folks at home in wartime, as they are reﬂected in the postwar humor.
