The Civil War is widely accepted as the single most meaningful event in American history that overcame the most fatal crisis of internal division of the nation with much success. That meaningfulness in turn glorifies the North's triumph over the South and justifies hierarchical differences between the two. Yet, as shown in the studies of Civil War literature, such glorification and justification relies too much on the North-centered historical paradigm. This essay aims to offer a way of rectifying it by examining a short story by one of the persistently obscured writers of the period: Elizabeth Stoddard. The essay follows the cue of Alice Fahs's cultural-studies methodology of using popular wartime periodicals as the main resource of the war literature, and reads Stoddard's "Sally's Choice" as one of the examples that expose the hegemonic bias inside the North-directed discourse of the time. This essay is expected to demonstrate the necessity of expanding and deepening our conception of 'literature,' 'the Civil War,' and 'Civil War literature' in an ever-flexible and ever-changeable manner.

The DIABUTSU hotel was built first in Korea and we know that the hotel was built in 1888. However, it has many questions. This study was conducted to uncover the truth. Non-text media in the study is useful to take advantage of the media. However, it is not used in Korea. I prefer that study by Non-text Media. The findings, DIABUTSU hotel was built in 1884. It was Japanese-style two-story wooden building. HORI was hospitality there and many foreigners stayed. Underwood, Appenzeller and Carles were this hotel and they recorded about the hotel in 1885. We know that three story building was the first hotel. But this is wrong in fact. The first hotel is Japanese-style wooden building built in 1884.
