Book Overview
"Biglow Papers Against the Mexican War" presents a collection of satirical verses and essays originally published during the Mexican-American War (1846-1848). Attributed to the fictional character Hosea Biglow, a rural New England farmer, and edited by Homer Wilbur, these writings offer a sharp critique of the war and American expansionist policies.
Written in dialect, the "Biglow Papers" use humor and wit to expose the moral and political complexities of the conflict. The text reveals the social and political climate of the mid-19th century, exploring themes of patriotism, slavery, and the role of the individual in challenging government actions. This enduring work provides valuable insight into the anti-war sentiment that existed during a pivotal moment in American history.
