War of Words Propaganda is the spreading of information, ideas, or rumors to
help a cause-or hurt an opposing cause. During World War II,
Adolf Hitler’s Nazi Party were ingenious with their use of propa-
ganda through motion pictures. Although the medium was new,
propaganda wasn’t. The Civil War was a bitter and bloody con-
flict which included propaganda. One of the causes was the anti-
slavery sentiment pushed by abolitionists in various media form.
Two forms which were highly popular were books and newspa-
pers. One well known book used was Harriet Beecher Stowe’s
Uncle Tom’s Cabin, a newspaper included William Lloyd Garri-
son’s The Liberator and a magazine like Harper’s Weekly. While
the North had its propaganda, so did the South. Other forms used
by both sides were broadsides, political cartoons, photographs and
speeches. A popular cartoonist was German born Volck who used
cartoons to arouse Southern patriotism and rekindle soldier’s en-
thusiasm for the cause. To show how valuable propaganda can actually be, most of the Southern
propaganda helped to gain some support from foreign nations like Great Britain. Although
Great Britain ultimately did not send military support to the South, it did send its sympathies
which is the emotional response propaganda creates.
