I am doing research for a Civil War soldier character for a video script. When I started to write
the dialogue, I realized that the conversational speech I was using was coming from my 2003
interpretation. Could anyone recommend a source where I could find out about how people
spoke during the Civil War. I am especially interested in everyday speech and accents as they
relate to geographic locations. Any recommendations are appreciated.
