Answer: Others published heartbreaking stories from people affected by the conflict.

Step-by-step explanation:

Propaganda is used by the media to influence people's opinions or ideas. It is generally used in politics to favor or demigrate a political opponent.

During the Civil War, propaganda was used to tell heartbreaking stories of people affected by the war, mainly of southern families who lost their land or their homes. This propaganda was intended to show the families of the Confederates as the only victims of the war and appeal to the emotions of the readers.

This type of propaganda was maintained over time, an example of this is the movie "Gone with the Wind".

I hope this information can help you.
