The author uses the literary device of "Imagery"
Example(s): "Glittering white, the blanket of snow covered everything in sight."
"And her eyes were green and gold, her cheeks were pink with cold, her fist turned red and gray, and her lips had nothing to say."
The metaphor in this sentence likens the exchange of ideas (and specifically the arrival of new, radical ideas) as a battle.
The "radical thought" coming from the northeast is defended, not by believers or by thinkers, but by "shots" from newspapers and is "reinforced by regiments." This metaphor makes the arrival of new ideas a dangerous, violent -- possibly even bloody -- situation.
