Probably because the South lacked a dedicated photographer, no picture developing resources, etc. The North had Matthew Brady as the main photographer.
It wasn't a mistake the IRS was created in 1860. If you go back and read the discussions of the times. The union was looking to capitalize on the booming agrarian economy and put a stop to southern states doing direct trade with France. They used slavery as the moral high ground to drive the population to war but in reality. If the southern states simply agreed to the taxation. There never would of been a war.
At first, I'm sure it would have been. Hostilities ceased, trade resumed, including with Europe, embargo lifted, etc. However, I'm also sure the North would have invaded again, perhaps 5 - 10 yrs later, when they had far more men, weapons, materiel, etc. They would've subjugated the South as they'd always wanted, and Reconstruction would've simply started a bit later.
It may seem like a long long time ago,but my great great grandfather served under general Sherman. My dad plowed with horses as a young man,and he and his brothers born in my grandmothers bed,without a doctor. Time is relative. Learn from history and God rest the men on both sides who fought and died
As someone who has studied the civil war in great detail you have shown many pictures that I have not seen before. The colorized photos give a more human personality to the people that are in the photos than the black and white versions. Thank you for sharing these rare pictures of our past. I enjoy the old photos that you present here as it allows us to see the past, the people and the places as they once were.
América: no caigas en la trampa de los que hoy los dividen, sigan unidos aun con diferencias. Recuerda que ustedes son una gran nación, una inspiración para otras naciones.
Great nation, really? I’m sorry but no, we aren’t even a nation. Not anymore. This country (what’s left of it) has legalised infanticide and allows degenerate adult men dressed in women’s’ clothing to read story books to children in public libraries - and harshly punishes those that resist it. Great nations don’t do that to their citizenry. Godless, evil police states do. The America of our forefathers no longer exists, sadly. That is long gone. Try Hungary. Or Russia. Those are moral, decent countries where natural law is upheld. Those countries actually take care of their people and put their people first.
No longer are these men and women just look like images, colourising brings them to life- now they look like you and I. They all fought for what they believed was right - so many lost their lives. Seems we never learn when it comes to war.
Really nice pics/video….. However, General Reynolds was not killed in the Wheatfield. He was shot shortly after arrival on the first day in a wooded area while alongside the Iron Brigade’s charge into the wooded area to drive out the Confederates who held those woods.
And his men said to him as he sat out in the open. " General get down." His response was " They couldn't hit an elephant at that distance" A minute later a Confederate sharp shooter shot him dead.
Buena calidad de fotografías con ese fondo musical, América vuelve a la senda antigua, cuál hijo pródigo Él quiere recibirte nuevamente como su hijo, amén y amén.
América: no dejen que los dividan, protejan su unidad, protejan a sus ciudadanos.. fuerzas externas los quieren separar y divididos controlarlos. No confíen en la ONU.. bendiciones.
So the thought occurs, I have not seen any photos where the battle fields were snow covered. Did they still withdraw from operations in the winter? I imagine for the southern forces, this would be a particular necessity given the problem with supply. But in general, with roads and fields either laden with snow, crusted with ice mud or freezing liquid mud from the saturation of melting snow, moving heavy equipment would be nigh on impossible. I have also noted that the big battles seem to have been fought, spring, high summer and autum.
Due to logistical challenges, both army would set up winter quarters and were usually inactive (the Battle of Fredericksburg being a notable exception) during the winter.
Question.. In your photo of the Ringgold Battery on drill, there are a large number of soldiers wearing red uniforms.. they are not Zouaves… might they be foreign observers? I’m aware artillery usually had red symbols of rank on their blue uniforms and often had red stripes on their kept’s… but a bright red jacket? Please advise. Thanks for your efforts here.. keep it up!
Along with all these social media platform and they'll study the human behavior patterns and focus better ways to heal them then me today which I'm thankful for - willy 0
What was so heartbreaking about the pictures???? The were just colorized pictures of the Civil War from the side of the North. They were great pictures but he whole Civil War was heartbreaking but not from just the North.
Your still a slave to the King in Washington. You think the Civil War changed anything? When The Kings in Washington Takes Our Money, Freedom. Physical Health, Our Lives. An Can't walk down any street in these cities without being Robbed or Beat..Your FREE? @@Dave11000
Yep. We need a dictator like Trump now. Because only a man that’s declared bankruptcy 6 times and cheated with prostitutes on all 3 wives has the intelligence and moral character to lead this Country.
Looks like the Yankees are the only one with cameras back then. They sure did like their picture took. Well ain't that just like those blue sanctuary states. Bless your heart.
The picture of the dead soldiers on the opening page look like Confederates that were killed on the Hagerstown Pike along the rail fence at the Battle of Antietam on September 17th 1862. They were men from the 6th&7th Loiusiana Infantry CSA and would not have been clothed in bright blue.
America was most definitely a DEPRESSING place in the 1860's. The look of penury and sorrow in those faces is soul-killing. I would not choose to move to the US if I lived in that era.
It took longer to expose a photo back then. You had to pose, and stay that way long enough for the picture to be taken. Of course now you can photograph something while it is moving.
Sure did. Did the south/Confederacy have dedicated photographers equipment and supplies that would have come from the north to the south to take those pictures....No. The other route would have been shipping expensive equipment from Europe but there was that little blocked thing the Union was doing. As for blockade runners, guns and ammo during a time of war was needed more than Daguerreotypes.
No this is when racist lost their leash on other human beings lives..all men are created equal no matter race. Nor color..what the he'll you talking about racist.
A heartbreaking time for sure but the state building 1864 when most state buildings according to records were allegedly build 1895 to 1905 ! The Clock is interesting at 6.50 in, take a good look at it, the hospital that has everyone up and on their beds, is that not a bit strange, for me though it's not what is in this nicely arranged collection it's what is not in it, as with all of these none has a post battle photo even a sanitised and fit for polite society image from a distance without any maccabre detail, not one !
Well.. thanks for all Union photographs…..Confederates-were human ,too !!!! …z lots of them never even owned a slave , but fought for their economy , which is one reason the Union fought to free the slaves ..The south was making money on cotton sales …jealousy !
@@Dave11000 do you think for ONE SECOND the north fought to free southern slaves? the north couldn't have raised a division IN 61 to free southern slaves, the average reb hardly owned a pair o' boots let alone a slave, AND SLAVES WERE HELD IN NORTHERN STATES BEYOND APPOMATTOX. the southerners fought to REPEL THE INVADER.
@@davec8730 My dad said he fought in WWII because he was drafted. The same was true of many Civil War soldiers. However, many enlisted, just as many Rebels fought to preserve the "way of life" including slavery and many Northerners fought to end it. I agree that many Southerners (and Northerners) were poor, but most poor Southerners didn't want the slaves freed because they knew they'd be the ones mostly dealing with the fallout, and they were right.
@@Dave11000 yes , I think that …the South was thriving on the cotton crops …poor whites worked the cotton fields right along with the slaves ..my ancestors were not slave owners and picked cotton for the plantations , as well as harvesting their own small fields ..I still have a quilt passed down that is padded with raw cordon and pieced with old clothes , cut into squares ..
And this is what RU-vid and Facebook will look like with people scrolling threw everything everyone said and they'll say my large dump that made space technology pop out they can easily track with words - willy 0
The music was good, BUT, you literally left the Confederate Soldiers and The Southern Cause Totally out of your Video. You never showed pictures of the 1st Louisiana Native Guard, first official black regiment in the Confederate Army consisting of approximately 1,100 ""free"" African American men. What you are not taught in the largest slave owner when the war started in Charleston, South Carolina in 1861 was A Freed Black who owned over 200 slaves. His name was William Ellison Jr. There are Black Members of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. There is so much you don't know. I have Southern Blood in me as my Maternal Grandmother was born in Magnolia, Mississippi. God Bless The South.
six different native American tribes fought on the side of the confederate as well as over more than 3,000 blacks .. also FYI... two thirds of Hispanics fought for the confederate also......read your history before you call the south trash
