- 1860s USA - Heartbreaking Photos Of Civil War America - Colorized
The civil war claimed the lives of approximately 620.000 young men, tore families apart, and shaped a nation. The conflict holds immense historical significance.
In this video, we honor the courage of the brave souls who endured this tumultuous period, a conflict that played a pivotal role in ending a brutal practice in the United States.
Today we're bringing these war-torn images to life in vivid color.

History WILL repeat itself if this country continues the path it's going. 😢
This was what we never want again in America. With history being torn down, and destroyed this will be inevitable. We have to do better as a nation. We are ALL in this together.
"UNITED WE STAND" BUT, "DIVIDED WE FALL". We have to come together for the greater good of America and it's constitution. 🙏🏼🇺🇲💪🏿💪🏾💪🏽💪🏼
AMERICA WILL FALL IF THIS DEMORAT GOVERMENT GOS ON.
It's amazing what the colorization of black and white photos can do. I've seen photos of world war 1 and world war 2 Colorized, but I haven't seen the civil war photos colorized. What a transformation. It puts it into a truly different perspective altogether.
Yes it does hits differently, we assimilate closer to their times so it feels like it was just a few years back, amazing to think that other than just technology the human trait has not changed and will never change.
Constructive criticism, if your captions are too long, they can be difficult or impossible to read in the time you've changed to the next image.

that’s a very naive statement
@@cevr1292disgusting thing to say
@shinobione2575 how is the truth disgusting? The Rothschilds alone have funded and started wars ever since the napoleonic age. The Central Bank is run by Zionists. Do your research sheep.
2024 and still so much divide …
Thank those in power who want us to be divided so that they may enslave us all to a New World Order.
But joey day one said he was going to unite all of America.. Liar.
@@garylambert4549 Liar? you can't unite who does not want to be part of it. Blame the people ... There is no reason in 2024 to vote Trump besides being really childish and messed up - partisan brain washed.
Magnificent ! If wars were won by sheer heroism, I think the South would have won, particularly at the key battle of Gettysburg. But that does not take away from the incredible courage and resolve on all sides. Ultimately there was one winner. The United States.
If wars were won on sheer arrogance and bravado...
*FIFY.
Don't overestimate "heroism." Those guys marching behind the ranks with swords weren't there for show. If you didn't march, you could be cut down by your own leaders. At Pickett's charge at Gettysburg, a lot of confederates turned back or did not go out of the sunken Emmitsburg Road. Of 13,000 who started the charge, about 400 made it to the wall. The rest were not all dead or wounded.
My great great grand uncle was born in Jamaica, both his parents were british and he actually traveled to the US to fight for the union side.
4:13 that horse Colonel, what a tuff life it must have lived. 18 battles. I couldnt imagine.
I had 16 ancestors in that war, Southern Pride is still alive, “that Bonnie Blue Flag with the Single Star”
Amen
Weird flex to say you had 16 ancestors that were complete and total losers but ok.
@@damonhicks969 No one with any true understanding of the Civil War and those who fought on either side would have made such an Un-American and disrespectful comment. You should politely apologize and make an attempt to regain any honor you may have previously possessed.
@jameydenison2045 I spent 2 semesters In college covering the Civil war and it is not unamerican to be sick and tired of the southern pride "what i really mean is i love slavery" garbage that is destroying our country. The same attitudes back then and the same rhetoric used is the same shit we hear today from sitting senators and congress that want White Christian nationalism as the sole and main power in government. The Marjorie Greene's and the Bobert's and the Cottons and the Kennedy's and the evil men like gov Greg Abbott that think setting death traps to kill people he hates is acceptable and he will break federal law to do it.
And the Republican parties in SEVERAL southern states that deliberately draw the most racist district maps possible then when told that is unconstitutional please draw and resubmit a fair one they say fuck you Supreme Court WE DONT CARE WHAT BLACK PEOPLE IN OUR STATE WANT WHE ARE GOING TO CIRCLE THEM IN A DISTRICT, REMOVE ALL THE POWER AND VOTING LOCATIONS FROM THAT DISTRICT, MAKE SPECIFIC LAWS FOR THAT DISTRICT TO MAKE IT EVEN HARDER FOR MINORITIES TO VOTE BECAUSE THE WILL OF THE VOTERS MEANS SHIT TO US! ONLY AUTHORITARIAN CONTROL OVER PEOPLE WE HATE!
And MY ancestors were tobacco plantation owners in Kentucky enslaving thousands of humans and raping and selling their babies, and killing them and treating them like cattle. I saw the slave cells, I saw the whips and guns used to keep them in line, I saw the photos of the brutality of what they endured and their backs full of scars and at the bottom of the picture was the title slaves owned by C. Higginbotham my old family name that we changed because we don't take FUCKING PRIDE in the acts of our southern ancestors and their name was wiped from the earth in 1995 when I got the call saying my great grandfather the last Higginbotham that had "SOUTHERN PRIDE" and refused to change his name, died in Paducah KY. When i got on ancestry.com and started searching my family and learned i had distant cousins that were black but had 8% of my DNA because my ancestors raped their ancestors.
It was a part of my history but I don't have to make racism and hate my culture, I don't even want to wipe out the history i think everyone should learn it but not the lies the south teaches kids. When I grew up in KY our school books said they were servants and treated fairly and paid well for their labor. I was told lies and anyone that thinks the confederacy was ANYTHING to be proud of then they were lied to as well.
How do YOU square the lies that i was taught they were well treaded and paid only to do actual DNA research and find they were raped, and the babies were stolen from the mother and sold to the plantation a few miles away. and that happened again and again so I have WAY distant relatives all the way in Tennessee and Florida all with MY same DNA from a serial slave raping ancestor.
Like anyone that believes the lies of TRUMP and his CULT; we have all the lies and crimes on video and they will be preserved and told forever and I am sure that in the racist south they will lie and say trump was the greatest president ever and he was a holy man chosen by god and he loved the bible even though he cant quote 1 verse from memory for a billion dollars.
But we have learned our lesson, if you don't eradicate the disease it will keep infecting the whole body. we should have amputated the gangrenous leg the first time but we didn't and let "southern pride lies" fester and when MAGA attempted a coup we gave them a slap of the wrist. But now we know if you let them live you just gave them a training exercise for the next attempt and if the south wants another civil war this time the nukes will fly and those that survive will meet the gallows.
WE ARE DONE FUCKING AROUND WITH YOU RACIST SISTER FUCKING BASTARDS!
I WILL NEVER APOLOGISE TO A FUCKING RACIST THAT BELIEVES PRIDE IN WHAT THE CONFEDERACY TRAITORS DID HAD ANY HONOR AT ALL!
MY honor is in tact because I am not the one saying blatant EVIL is honorable.
This is how you sound to me.
Internet goon: I have 16 ancestors that ran a concentration camp systematically raping and murdering Jews and i am soooo proud of them #NAZIPRIDE!.
ME: your ancestors were monsters why are you proud of that??
YOU: you don't know your history the Nazi party were honorable and decent men as they raped and murdered their way across Europe, and you should say sorry if you have any honor!
ME: GO SUCK HITLERS DICK YOU FUCKING NAZI!
We still have the "Daughters of The Confederate", some of them are in Central Florida. Beautiful women, and history.
As Sherman said War is hell 😟
I'm dizzy from the constant tilting up and down. Just show the still pictures.
It's really really stupid to move the camera over the photos, so that the viewer can't see the photos. You should hold the camera still so that the viewer can see the photo. That's the whole p point of the video.
Need more time to read not enuff time to look at pics
Anytime someone wants to talk about white privilege. Send them here.
yeah its quite obvious what with all the white guys in fancy coats being attended to by black servants in the background even in the picture of the northern generals there was normally a servant nearby. Most people just don't see it they see what they want to.
Was there even photography in 1860? I dont know...
Studio photography predates the CW. The first photos of war dead were taken at Antietam in September 1862, taken by Alexander Gardiner. It was the first time Americans saw actual photos of bloated bodies.
YES THERE WAS GO BACK TO SCHOOL
Coulda just gave up their human “property”
more like civil war vampires family
Imagine if we hv photos of red indians!
14:05 Jude Law?
Long live the confederate spirit!the true defenders of the constitution!
Only the part that permitted slavery.
HA HA HA HA HA HA SO STUPID
I only wish you would have given more time to read the heading and look at the picture. If you would redo this and put some time, so that we can enjoy these images. and respect what they have to say.
I am watching at these people through colored pixels on plasma screen drawn over worlwide digital network via satellite dish. Who of the people on the picture would even thought then they would be observed this way by 10 generations after....
Priceless images of great tragedy.
All wars are crazy and sad, but civil wars such as this, and the English Civil War 1642 - 1649, where brother tries to kill brother are the craziest and saddest of all.
Thanks for colorizing these photos! I grew up near Gettysburg, and had family members on both sides of the war. That led me to study the history of the appalling conflict for most of my life. Very early in the process, I realized that people didn't grasp the depth of the events due to the black & white photos. I explained, "You know, all this happened in color, and it was horrific." ...We are a very visual species.
On the contrary, I like black and white photos because it's history
I always found black and white photos to be a hell of a lot more eerie
Black and white doesn't show the color red
I'll certainly go your way on the colorized images.
Clear your mind and stare and you could almost walk into the scene. Sometimes the realism can be jarring. And the skill level of those who colorize seems to have improved markedly in the past few years.
@@Retrospect5343 La historia real fue a color, la vida no era en blanco y negro, siempre fue a color.
Those guys knew how to grow a super beard n moustache.
Puts todays hipsters to shame.
Chancellorsville took place in May 1863; Three weeks before it would be April of 63 not '62; the sketch artist pictured at 10;48 is Alfred WAud
My 4x Great Grandfather died in the Civil War and is buried in a mass grave in Tennessee. After he died, his son joined at 15 and survived to then have 12 children. I'm barely here to type this out :D
Look for a book "Rulers of Evil" by Tupper Saussy to find out who really was behind Civil war and what was it about. Not what you learn in school.
Very Union centric. I'm guessing, because they lost, there is less confederate material to colorize. Great job with what you have.
Not only that but photography was very difficult and expensive to achieve. The chemical solutions required to develop plates were hard to come by in the South. Gary Adelman with the American Battlefield Trust has a good video or two you can research.
I don’t think it’s the fact the south lost, way more newspapers and media reports were widely seen and accessible compared to the south.
Really great video. My Great-Great-Great Grandfather Conrad Rice was a private. He enlisted on October 10, 1862 and was mustered with the 153rd Infantry, Company H in Pennsylvania. He was apparently transferred to the 56th Regiment and killed in the battle of Petersburg, VA on June 20, 1864. His son, my Great-Great Grandfather Samuel Rice was a corporal. He enlisted September 25, 1861 with the 11th Regiment, Company H in Pennsylvania. Samuel fought in Gettysburg, PA. After the war he spent his life in public service in Northampton, Northampton County, Pennsylvania.
Was Samuel under the command of W.S. Hancock in Gettysburg?
Not that I have a record of. His fighting in Gettysburg was according to an article in the Allentown, PA, Morning Call, July 15, 1925, he, his wife and my great grandfather John, his son celebrated his 84th birthday by driving to Gettysburg and going over the battlefields on which he fought on in 1862.
The more detailed info I [do] have came from an article published in the Allentown, PA Morning Call, Friday July 24, 1922, and from Civil War Records.
He was born July 14, 1841 in Howertown, Northampton County, PA. He enlisted Aug. 24, 1861 from Northampton county, PA and served three years, or during the war. He mustered into the US Army at Philadelphia, September 25, 1861 as a private under Captain Samuel Wetherhill, later W. H. Seip's company "H", 11th regiment. Colonel Josiah Harlan commanding.
In the spring the companies were detailed to Newport News, Portsmouth, Suffolk, White House Landing and Williamsburg, reuniting at Suffolk in August of 1862. Defeated a superior force of the enemy's cavalry at Beaver Dam Church and took an active part in the siege of Suffolk, Virginia. Was on duty for more than two years in all parts of Virginia and took part in many skirmishes and attacks. Captured many prisoners and more than two hundred field pieces.
He was appointed Bugler at Fortress Monroe and was taken prisoner May 30, 1862 while on an expedition to burn Blackwater Bridge. Paroled and exchanged in September, 1862 when he rejoined his command. He was honorably discharged September 25th, 1864 by reason of expiration of his term of enlistment.
All my relatives were either herding goats or farming the land in Europe.
they died of southern fever, and southern steel and shot
Very interesting
Great pictures sorry if this sounds a stupid question I always wondered when I see pictures that have been colorized how do they know what the colours were .. Thank you Gary
They use computer programs to check the levels of grey and black in the photos as well as historian research there is a TH-cam video on how it is done now days it’s pretty cool. I’m not great at describing it but it is out there
I'm from the UK but have an interest in the American Civil War, I've never visited the USA but somehow the war triggers something in me, such sadness, this version has made me even more aware of the sacrifices made. When i retire i want to visit some of the places but i know it will bring tears. Thanks for the video🙏
Look for a book "Rulers of Evil" by Tupper Saussy to find out who really was behind Civil war and what was it about. Not what you learn in school.
and funny how the world turns here we are again same descent different time
We aren't. We aren't anywhere close.
Seems like it could've happened yesterday when you look at these photos in color. You can still relate to these things
Well the way things are going, it might happen Tomorrow!
Yeah,, it hits so differently..
@@stevesparks2001 I sure hope not. Unfortunately, you might be right.
It's hard to believe these photos where taken not long after the Napoleonic wars.
I'm very glad that the photos don't show any dead from the battlefields. I've seen a lot of pictures that do depict the immediate aftermath of a battle and I think it isn't very respectful of the dead. The whole war was such a travisty, Americans killing Americans. But I truly feel that if something positive doesn't happen soon, we are going to have another civil war on our hands.
Rebel Stand ...God bless the South
My great-great grandfather was a medical doctor who graduated from the South Carolina medical collage which was located in Charleston South Carolina. During the war he was a surgeon and full captain in the officer's medical crop of the army of Northen Virgina. I have seen documents that says he did amputations in the field. His name was Dr. Charles Witsell from Walterboro S. C.
i thank you for his service.
This goes too fast! Good thing I have the pause option.
It's a sad thing being shown, but I am 73 years old and I can't finish reading the entire caption on some of the pictures before it moves along.
How is it possible in 2024 that your flesh tones could be so off?
Next time instead of taking up half the picture and havnt us waste time reading it and not looking at the picture just have ai read it and take away those subs
MALDITAS GUERRAS, Y MAS GUERRAS, CUANDO EL SER HUMANO APRENDERÁ DE UNA VEZ...??
Some of the music doesnt fit...jazz?????
Then mute it weirdo
If only. We have never learnt how to be civilised. The human condition. Strange how Billions of people past and present have always picked peace over war. It has forever been the few who want war but have never fought in these war's themselves. Why do we allow this to continue millennia after millennia. 🤔✌️
Do you mean that the Confederates fought just for slavery? When did Lincoln say he was going to get free the slaves? You know as well as I do that Lincoln had no plans to free the slaves. Remember his quote before he freed them. He said if there was any other way he would do it. He was saying any other way to win the war. America was back on slave workers. Slavery was wrong, but at least not all of the confederates fought for slaves. I love the video, but I feel like nowadays in schools they teach the war was just over slavery. It was not a topic till 1863. Long in the war by then.
Reparations were paid with life.
Amen!!
If you say so.
But one thing doesn't have anything to do with the other.
YOU GOT THAT RIGHT
Follow the money... Root of all wars!
カラー化することにより 南北戦争がどれだけ悲惨だという事がわかります
200年以上の出来事なのに つい最近の出来事に思えてしまいます
Trump says Gettysburg was so horrible and beautiful... I see horrible all day
Trump is a third grader doing a book report on a book he didn't read.
@@damonhicks969 You will take those words back.. Im. very sure.
@@garylambert4549 source?
I've been to Gettysburg, during the the 1st week of July, 2004, and stayed mostly away from the reenactors to survey a beautifully surreal series of hills overlooking rolling green fields checkered with stick rail fencing. Many battlefields are like that, seemingly serene but sad nonetheless. So much sorrow and pain now disguised by nature. Only the monuments and cannon remind us of the sad reality.
Still, I came away feeling saddened by this bit of history, to visit it only in books again. As a whole, much hallowed ground. Perhaps those are the words Trump was fumbling for. If you haven't been, reserve judgement, but he was qualified to comment, however sparse. Obama missed his chance at the grand anniversary, yet took pages from Lincolns inspiration in speeches and tenure in the White House, and he is no Lincoln.
I was working at the Gettysburg VC the day in 2016 that Trump came to "see" the battlefield. He got out of the car on Cemetery Ridge for about 6 minutes of photo ops, then got back in and left the area. The ranger sent to talk to him was back before we knew it.
My G-G-grandfather was with the 95th. NY Infantry Regiment, and was at _MANY/MOST_ of the campaigns/engagements/battles that were depicted, here. Injured at The Battle of The WIlderness, took prisoner and held at Andersonville. We were blessed to have had his original enlistment,reenlistment/discharge papers...1861-1865, along with many photos & local newspaper articles about his life....from the early 20th century.
We also are fortunate enough to have a 4-generational, paternal photo (indeed; not necessarily a "big thing" [generationally speaking] in 2024, but _THEN_ ; _certainly_ !!) from 1940, with my [then]8-month old father, seated on G-G-Grandfather's, lap! At the time of his passing in 1941, he had been one of only 3, surviving Civil War veterans in the state of NJ.
Great content however would have liked more time to digest the text and view the photo before the next was shown.
Hit pause or slow down the playback speed
@@catmipTrue, but he shouldn't have to. I do vids like this, and I compensate for the image that has the longest amount of text, and have that as my template for all the rest.
What would be great if someone narrated the description on the pictures?
カラー化することにより 写真の人物が今にも動きそうです リアルな写真になっています
Can’t read that fast & also look at pictures
When I look at these photographs I wonder if those men made it or not. Sad to see.
The men wearing the straw hats in the Savage's Station photo, are members of the 16th New York. The entire regiment was gifted with the straw hats by the Colonel's wife, she was concerned about the men suffering in the summer heat in Virginia. The men liked the hats, but soon realized that they made the men exceptionally good targets for Confederate riflemen.
The Confederates were not 'rebels' as their goal was not to overthrow the Federal government, only to seek independence from it.
The war wasn't about slavery. It was about taking the stuff the southerners had built.
@@redwater4778 That's absolutely false.
@@NoelSadak The reason for the war of revolution was to steal what the British had built.
@@NoelSadak If you think the war was about slavery you are playing yourself. It was fed vs people. Slavery was the public mind justification for doing this to our own people because you and most others wouldn't agree with it, the term is called casus belli.
@@Aluttuh haha it was about slavery it was really about the expansion of slavery into western terrorites and when lincoln who was elected was against slavery expansion which didn't sit to well with the south. The abolishment of slavery became a union war goal.
I guess the Confederate army didnt have cameras
Naw they were losers that were too used to having slaves do everything for them while they sipped tea on the porch. That's why the pictures of Gen Lee were after his sorry ass quit. They talked a big game and loved them some slavery but were useless when we took that away from them.
Thanks, for this great presentation. I recommend "Ordeal by Fire: The Civil War and Reconstruction" by James M. McPherson and "The Impending Crisis: America Before the Civil War 1848 to 1861" by David M. Potter. Help clarify any illusion of what the Civil War was about. One group free; another enslaved. Civil War was inevitable.
I researched my family tree for years and have it on Ancestry. I found some branches in America, one of the sons was Lieutenant John Blagg of the Virginia Regiment who served in the American Revolutionary War with George Washington. One of his direct descendants was my great great grandfather, George Blagg, who ended up in England in the mid 1800s.
thank you so much for this wonderful video.
Really, heartbreaking now imagine being black show some of those PHOTOS, JUST WAIT IT IS COMING FOR YOU ALL, THANK GOD?
The colorisation process really brings to life these photos (many of which I had never seen before).
My Professor from WSU said this is a perfect example of white privilege shown in this video.
He is a tool.. I wish he was there.... LOL coward.
Great video shown so much I have never seen before.
My great grandfather lost an arm at Gettysburg and was captured by the Yankees and was released in a prisoner exchange. He lived to be 90 and remarried after his first wife died and had 3 more kids one was my grandmother who was 11 years old when he passed away.
Unbelievable devastation. God forbid we ever have war again. Ever!
You guys can’t seem to figure out what a woman is let alone fight a civil war…
Half of us have the woman part figured out. 😉
Think there will be war again before the year is out

Revelation 6:4-8
1 Corinthians 15:1-4
Our college kids at elite schools are chanting "kill the jews" and siding with terrorists. I think the war you don't every want to see again is a certainty.
You should get ready for your next..
What a shame. All their heroism and bravery, and look at us now. The sacrifice has been squandered. America-It was great while it lasted.
Love the picture of the pretty Miller girl @9:53. She's smiling and doesn't have your typical 19th century pose.
I imagine she's either a young mother or older sister to the two kids next to her.
It's a rare civil war picture to actually be able to see a little personality in a photo from that era
I hope we have learned...i have my doubts.
lol...weapons are our number two export and war is our number one industry!
All of those freed slaves had the same look. "Now what?" Suddenly you're homeless. How strange to have homeless and hopeful overlap instantly for millions of people at one time. Must've been how been the same for Irish and Central European immigrants when they got to Ellis Island. "Well, we made it. Now what?"
No... NOT the same.
NOW THEY WERE FREE. NOT THE SAME AT ALL
I can't understand why today we approaching the same way. Way blind government can't see the same consequences?.
Because the people in the south keep lying to their people about slavery and the evils of bigotry so the current republican party think they are so smart and will bring it back and the world will be ok with that. They WILLFULLY refuse to learn from real history so they WANT TO REPEAT IT.
The boomers in charge don't care.
Explain the insult, Johnnie Reb. The Confederacy was practicing it's right to succeed from the union as promised to any state. Had this been allowed to be represented in court, the south would have been allowed legally to succeed from the union. As always, this country re writes history through public education education. Nice pictures.
In 1860, the year before the American Civil War started, the U.S. Government debt was $64.8 million. Once the war began, debt grew quickly. The financial cost of the war was significant, totaling an estimated $5.2 billion..Thats the equivalent to about 90 billion dollars.
So what? Its only money
we spend that in one day now.. Sad but true
@@garylambert4549 who is getting the money?
BUT YOUR WRONG ABOUT THAT
Love this stuff! Could watch this all day. Has there ever been a before and after look at the same historical site. Would be interesting to see how things look today?
I watch this with the jazz music turned off and civil war era music. So much better.
x0.75 totally change the vibe,that should be the native speed of tge video,i can actually fully appriciate the pictures.
RIP to all the Fallen soldiers on both sides.
Eternal memory
No
I am sorry that people young enough to have been my children had to fight in such a senseless war. But only one side caught to keep my forefathers in bondage. So I respectfully will keep my thoughts to myself regarding how I truly feel.
Rip both but the blue side was ultimately the good side
@@TurtleChad1 ONLY FOOLS WOULD SIDE WITH THE SOUTH.
WORST THUMBNAIL EVER.
People in B&W photo's somehow attain a somewhat cartoonish quality. Colorizing these images humanizes them and brings them closer to us.
Without war life wouldn't work.
Without peace life wouldn't work either.
Takes all kinds of people and problems to
Create the situations we will always live in.
I just call it reality for short.
The War Between the States did not end slavery, the Union had 5 slave states during and after the war. The Emancipation Proclamation freed no slaves, it was written for the southern states only that were at that time a different country. Slavery did not end in the Union until Dec 6 1865 when the 13th amendment was passed 8 months after the war ended. I have no idea why we do not teach factual history in this country.
They show a few wounded guys sitting outside a building with a lady who they say is a volunteer nurse one of them's in blue one of them's in gray none of them have any blood on them brand new bandages all leg injuries can you say set up very odd picture??? There is one guy that has his right hand wrapped up but I'm thinking man those reports shots everybody got shot in the leg except for one guy this is hilarious??? There's a picture at about 3:18 in the video of the 110th Pennsylvania infantry after a battle at Fredericksburg and sitting there and checking out their uniforms and their boots and not one of them has a sidearm Where's all their pistols they were all issued sidearms that they throw him away I'm just checking these things out to see if they're authentic or set up could you wonder they're Scruffy looking guys they look like they've been out in the wilderness for months on end wore out boots one guy's pants don't even go to his boots or tore off up above his ankle really weird it's nobody's got a pistol even the sergeant I don't know guys check it out. Totally cool and it's in color though it does change it up quite a bit.
These images are amazing.
Not to discount them, but as I got half way through the video I had a random thought from what I was observing; where are the fat people?
HAD A RELATIVE 2? 118th PA VOLUNTEERS A.K.A. THE CORN EXCHANGE REGIMENT.
Very few images of the southern soldiers……why is that? Have they been cancelled?
In the picture of the wounded Indians from the wilderness on Marye's Heights , why doesn't the soldier standing to the left of the tree have a head ?
And did we, or more importantly will we learn from this? Absolutely not! :(
I thought that our own Civil War was bad enough in England with power at it's roots, But the American Civil War has a tragedy beyond comprehension. A massive gain for the right cause, but at a terrible cost.
They fucked it up during the reconstruction period.
It was never about a right cause, the south didn’t want to be controlled by the north so the north attacked them. This had nothing to do with slavery, it had everything to do with giving the federal government complete control over the entirety of America. America lost when the Union won the war.
When you hear a tts voice you know there's some guy from india making the video
Ich wußte gar nicht das die 1864 schon so massive Häuser hatten. Dacht um die Zeit gab es nur diese Holzhäuser und Westernstädte ..
I had family on both sides, its odd thinking some one of my family could be in those pictures
Did everyone know that Alan Pinkerton was English?
They had hydrogen balloons?
Surprises me.
6:40 100 procent American Pit Bull Red nose
Todays troops think there the ones to rock the tactical beard first. 😮
Where one can look at this photos one by one? Is there like a public web archive or something to look at?
Glory to the soldiers who lost theirs lives for the freedom of the slaves
They fought to keep the South from leaving. If Lincoln said they were going to die for slaves, he had had a complete mutiny as he did in New York City.
@@humansvd3269 Just like biden says the border is all safe LOL
Uhm, slavery wasn't abolished until halfway during the war.
Do you really think 1860s white peasants and factory workers cared about bIack people half a continent away, who roughly the same hard work?
@v.5442 Slavery still existed post war in the Union states and territories. It did not fully end until 1867.
THE UNION FOREVER
Peace invariably comes at a cost. True peace comes at a significant cost.
