What I want to know about my topic

When I chose my topic, i had a little bit of knowledge about the Civil War era and it's aftermath. What I don't know is about the literature during this time period. When asked about this topic, my main question was, "How was literature used during the Civil War and how did it change after the war ended?" This main question challenged me to think deeper about this topic, which brought about a few more in-depth questions.

-Who were the well-known writers of this time period, and what were their works of literature?
-How did the value of literature change after the war?
-How did abolitionists use the Underground Railroad to get slaves to the North?
-How did writers go about publishing their works of literature?
-How was the economy affected by the Civil War?
