Anything can symbolize the Civil War, provided you, the author, know what a symbol is and utilize it appropriately. For example, a modern penny, featuring Abraham Lincoln, could be an effective symbol of the fact that the North won the war.

As for assonance, it involves similar or complementary vowel sounds, as in "as for assonance" or "it involves." Or "vowel sounds."

Good luck!
