Thank you for the excellent selection of photographs of a bygone era! And indeed, these authentic images and portraits return us straight to the crucible of war with all its horrors. And in color, they create a complete atmosphere of reality and we are really lucky that the Civil War is so well documented. They seem especially terrible: a photograph of a boy near Petersburg, as well as dead brave men near Antietam. It should be remembered that any war is the last step that must be consistently avoided.
@@dennisnaderhoff2008Thank you for your extremely intelligent and most importantly relevant comment. I don't know how you came up with this. I also want to give a special place to your imagination, since it really is at an incredibly high level, which eloquently testifies to your sublime gifts and talents. Apparently your head is magical ideals, but the pronunciation is worth working on!
I always wondered about that picture of Union soldiers bathing. Contrary to popular myth, typhus was almost non-existent during the Civil War which is spread by infected body lice. It shows the soldiers bathed frequently when possible. You can see how brown and weathered their faces are from the fierce Virginia sun-the mark of veterans. If it was taken in May 1864 it makes me rather sad thinking how many of them in the picture got killed or wounded during the horrific bloodletting that summer with upwards of 60,000 Army of the Potomac casualties in May/June alone.
I cant believe how realistic the clothes, rocks, trees, furniture etc have got over the last few years. Great job. I guess it is only a matter of time before the pink skin colour is fixed, then these old photos will literally look like they were taken yesterday on an IPhone. When that happens, could old b&w and colour movies be updated so they also looked like they had just been filmed yesterday lol. How amazing would that be.
Thank you for the content. I enjoyed it a lot. If I can give one opinion, and that is to not label soldiers that are black as “black soldiers”. They fought alongside everyone else. They’re are simply soldiers. And God bless anyone from both sides that helped shape our history regardless of color. I freaking love this country and appreciate every single lost soul that has died in making our country the greatest on earth.
The point of mentioning that the soldier is black serves many purposes, all of them good, in the zeitgeist of the mid 19th century. Try to view this without 21st century woke goggles.
Soon enough they will be able to take any person in any photo and not only colorize them but make a 3D model and have those people in fact come back to life and walk, run, and using actors talk. We've already gotten a few images and short films like this, it will rather quickly become common in my estimation. Hollywood will also use this technology to bring images of say Lincoln alive on screen.
@@DylansPen Then the revisionists will get ahold of it and put dramatized words into his mouth that he never said and have them spoken by some resonant voice actor. The contemporary accounts said that Lincoln had a high-pitched nasal voice with a country twang.
I hate to criticize, but the photo labeled "Dead Confederate at Little Roundtop" is incorrect. That is in Devils Den. One can still see the stone wall today.
The most recognizable person of the war needs no caption. It is notable that Gen Lee is wearing a colonel’s rank. He was never photographed wearing general’s insignia although it is rumored that he wore it at Appomattox. Still, there are no photographs of him wearing his well-earned rank.
It's now known that the dead "sharpshooter" was a posed photo, that is not a sharpshooter's rifle, but a rifle inserted into the photo. There were many such battlefield aftermath photos set up or arranged for dramatic effect evidently.
Has never ended. Same 'effects' in use today as in past. Same 'poking of the stick' to keep the battle raging. Same crowd gathered after school, to antagonize, lying, shouting, to force reluctant gladiators into battle.. Human flaw.. deadly human character flaw.. ;{
Mark...now there is an AI program that uses old still photos and renders a moving image...turns slightly, blinks and looks around...it makes images of people long gone look alive... a company called my heritage, or something like that...offers a free sample...let's you submit one or two pics and animates them.. then it gets kind of expensive
One of these days I'm going to have to dig out the battlefield photos my third great grandfather took while a Capt in a volunteer cavalry. He hand colored about half of them but never published. Newspapers at the time didn't want to publish them as they thought the photos would not be good for the public image of the war. The government didn't want them because they mostly showed war dead and neither did text books. There was pretty much no market for them so they ended up in a trunk and passed down to me. I have roughly 10,000 photos he took and about 10% are battlefield photos circa 1862-1864. He paid for the two extra horses that carried his equipment and only took photos in between his real work which was being a captain of a company of cavalrymen.
@@historygeekdocumentaries6184 I am trying to set up a space where I can scan them. Unfortunately the pandemic has squelched my plans temporarily. Almost all of it is in the form of negatives. Roughly 90% are post battle images of battlefield's strewn with bodies and pieces of bodies. It's pretty gruesome so it's understandable why he nor subsequent generations could find anyone to publish them. A handful show his company and other units posing either on horses or with them weapons. A lot of those are blurry or partially blurry due to the difficulty getting people and horses to hold still long enough for the exposure. At least that's what he says in his diary. He did document more of the Confederate dead than Union dead even on occasions when there were actually more union deaths. He also describes life in the cavalry as being mostly just sitting around waiting as well as drilling and that most of the action is small skirmishes going from plantation to plantation or village to village. There was a lot of sneaking around trying not to be seen by Confederate forces. he also took a handful of naughty pictures of prostitutes in a couple of larger Confederate towns but I'm not sure it would ever be a good idea to publish those and I am considering destroying them.
Please don’t destroy them. If you have no use for them I am sure there are plenty of organizations and private collectors who would be happy to take them off your hands. I believe that controversial topics like this is some of the most interesting. So please for the love of God don’t destroy them.
@@historygeekdocumentaries6184 They will not be put into private hands outside of my family. I may consider a museum if they think it is appropriate but I have to wonder if those are someone's great, great grandmother. I don't think the women who posed for such photos had an inkling that hundreds or thousands of people could see them and I don't want them to be used by perverts for sexual gratification. I'm not certain that any legitimate museum would even want them.
Interesting fact. The U S Navy paid black sailors and white sailors the exact same wages! Because when you are out at sea, in a storm you need to have "All hands on DECK!" And we are ALL in the same boat! Too bad Americans can't understand that even today! GO NAVY! ⚓⛵⚓
@2:16 Probably one of the safest jobs during the civil war. By being part of the staff of a general, you probably got the best rations, best accommodations, and never had to risk your life on the front line.
@Vincent Gonzales You are so right. The officers were in front with the troupers or just behind but on horseback making themselves easy targets and bullet catchers for high rounds .
Imagine my shocked surprise at 3:34 to see Danny Glover was alive in those days 😳. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤪😆. But seriously I have studied the war between the states since I was a kid ( 58 now) for I had blood family members fight for both sides and have seen most of these pictures but not all. Thanks.

All true about the sharpshooter photo. The same body was photographed in various poses and locations, but it is Devil’s Den, not Little Round Top.
