Regionalism and Realism in 19th Century American Literature reflected how the Civil War and westward expansion produced many changes in society and politics. American artists used realism and regionalism to comment on the ongoing struggle of the working class as well as the societal elevation of the middle class. They documented these transformations by creating removed, impartial depictions of everyday life.
