The U.S. Civil War is the most written about war in American literature. It affected hundreds of thousands of people from all walks of life, allowing its narrative to explore many universal themes. The main universal theme that is covered in Civil War literature is the glorified war. Young men have lost their lives on both sides, and often war is perceived as senseless killing.

Another common universal theme in Civil War literature is power. Along with war being glorified, we see different power struggles on both sides, amongst the people, fighting for the war to turn to their favor. Power is used to influence, is forever present, and can be used or abused. Power came in any forms; essential leaders such as the President and Army Generals, the states, and the federal government.

Glorified war and the use of power are some of the many examples of universal themes in Civil War literature.
