Well, I would tend to suspect that during the Civil War only the more educated people actually took the time to write letter, or read for that fact, whereas today we have a 99.9% literacy rate, so even the less Intelligent can express their thoughts. Therefore, the letters from the Civil War have better grammar and literal expression.
