Question

Southern writers such as Augustus B. Longstreet, Joseph G. Baldwin, and Johnson J. Hooper _________.

Answer 1

Answer:

developed a realist tradition that focused on the lives of ordinary people.

Explanation:

This is because they thought of the lives of ordinary people as a source of inspiration for their stories since these were able to connect more with the reader because there was a higher chance of them feeling some kind of identification with a certain character or situation that was presented and thus, causing the readers to prefer their books over others.
