"Turning point". That's a good one! In the long run, I wonder what that, 'turning point' really means. Domination of the federal government over the respective States? States supremacy over the federal government? A balance of the two, among other Checks and Balances? Hmm...
It is acknowledge that the photographs are predominantly those of Union soldiers with somr additional ones of (defeated) General Lee. Maybe the South did not have so much money for the "luxury" of photography? Also and however it is a little hard in our era to sentimentalise and valourise the Confederates who wanted to keep cruelly-treated, African-American people enslaved because of their skin colour; however diluted it happened to be (through rape by white "Christian" men).
@@ClydeLyndonSelby-cw7zq You have no idea of what you're talking about. By the way, all the original thirteen colonies had (African-American) slaves, as well as the latter states of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kentuckey, MIssouri, etc,... Google it!
You begin this video of photographs, stating that you are "honoring" the soldiers of the Civil War.. But in truth, you are honoring the Union soldiers and barely mentioning the Confederate soldiers. Remember: It is the victors that write history. Great people of the South were killed for THEIR beliefs as well.. and most Southerners did NOT own slaves!
They fought to maintain slavery. That was the ultimate end goal of the Confederacy regardless of each soldier’s individual reasons for fighting. The Confederates aren’t worth honoring.
@@jamesharrington4518 Nope! You repeat what you learn. I learned from books in the 1950's and 1960's, that were printed in the 1940's and 1950's.

They didn't give a hoot for slavery, one way or the other. That is the truth, whether you can handle it or not!
@RonRay it was about slavery, the reason why books in the 50s and 40s didn't say so was because after the Civil War groups like the Daughters of the Confederacy and others made up of upper class descendants of slave owners used their prestige and influence to control the southern education in regards to the Civil War. They created the lost cause narrative that said that the war was about states rights and all that nonsense. For whatever reason, the narrative became so popular that it spread throughout the entire nation. If you look at the declarations of secession of the confederate states, as well as speeches by Jefferson Davis and Alexander Stephens, you would understand that the whole reason the Southern States seceded was to protect the institution of slavery. I know history is usually written by the Victor's, but this was a rare case where it was written by the losers.

Only 5% of residents of the south owned slaves. The bulk of southern value was tied to slaves and their efforts. It's no wonder their owners clung to them so violently. It's also a wonder why those who did not own slaves bought into the hogwash of states' rights used to convince them to risk their lives for a cause that did not profit them.

Causes Of The Civil War Video: Causes of the Civil War The causes of the Civil War and its cost to a young nation. More from Wes about the causes of the Civil War. What led to the outbreak of the bloodiest conflict in the history of North America? A common explanation is that the Civil War was fought over the moral issue of slavery. In fact, it was the economics of slavery and political control of that system that was central to the conflict. A key issue was states' rights. The Southern states wanted to assert their authority over the federal government so they could abolish federal laws they didn't support, especially laws interfering with the South's right to keep slaves and take them wherever they wished. Another factor was territorial expansion. The South wished to take slavery into the western territories, while the North was committed to keeping them open to white labor alone. Meanwhile, the newly formed Republican party, whose members were strongly opposed to the westward expansion of slavery into new states, was gaining prominence.
Slavery existed in the north until1868 General Grant owned 300 slaves The south fought over Mr Lincoln high tariff Larger states control the country South wanted States. To have right to leave union as 10 Amendment States Supreme court said S outh was right and Lincoln had them put in jail Mr Lincoln. Could. Have avoided war He wanted south cotton for new northern factors. Sou th had always sent it to England he got his way and many Revolutionary solder wer killed. 600/000 died t o form a large federal government we have today government. By corporate giants
97 per cent of the southern solders owned no slaves my great to great grandfather fought for the south he did not believe it right. But the Invasion of the southern states is why. He. Fought that what that sant Andrew flag stand s. For the south. Not slavery slavery was the law of united Statesuntl 14 amendment passed
Read the story of Shuri castle on Okinawa in 1945. After being taken by the 1st Marine Division a Confederate battle flag (the stars and bars version) flew over it for at least a week. It was put up by some Texans, who else right, when no US flag was available. That part of the story is just sometimes left out nowadays.@@sumnerrutledge8332
The South was indeed fighting to preserve the institution of slavery for its perceived economic advantage. The North was fighting to stop the spread of slavery at first, then the end of slavery altogether. Slavery was doomed by its ultimate illegality and immorality. It was only a matter of time.
Amazing material. What was particularly striking was the relative informality of high ranking officers. You would be hard pushed to see similar pictures during the Schleswig Holstein Campaigns or the prusso Austrian war 1866 or the Franco German war 1870.
These are emotionally charged, bringing home a connection so far removed from the distance that black and white photography can achieve. I immediately went and watched the Civil War film Glory. After viewing these, the film came to life in a way I had not experienced before.
It's better for modern audiences, no doubt as long as they get the colors right. With historical photographs it's vital that the colors are correct or the artist can embarrass themselves. I saw one of these colorized photographs of Adolph Hitler. The artist must not have known that after Germany declared war on the UK and France on Sept 3 1939, he never wore his brown political uniform again for the rest of this life. The photograph was of a well known late 1940 meeting between the dictator of Spain and Hitler taken at a train station on the French-Spanish border at Hendaye. I saw that and I cringed.
Yeah, I went to the premiere in NYC when he come out around 1985 or 86. I thought that it was a very good movie and rare for Hollywood, historically accurate too.
Enjoyed this so much.just wished the captions on the pictures stayed up a little longer so I could read and then enjoy savoring the pictures as this was so interesting.
Descendants of slaves brought over in ships from Africa, so African-Americans. Unlike most black people in America today, who go even further back in generational history to get to actual Africans.
Interesting photo of Arabella Barlow. She nursed her husband Francis Channing Barlow after he received several wounds on the 1st days fight at Gettysburg. Sadly I believe Mrs Barlow died later in the war from illness possibly yellow fever. Heck of a war for the Barlow family without doubt.
Barlow was a very interesting and brilliant New Englander, I believe he was Harvard educated scholar that was left on the field at Gettysburg severely wounded, picked up the Confederates and fought in numerous battles the rest of the war. A very dedicated and brave man indeed. I remember his was a really good story but I've forgotten most of the details. 🤔since I read about him many decades ago.
The predominantly Germanic 11th Corps disliked Barlow, who harbored a prejudice against Germans. Why they put Barlow into command of them is beyond me? At Gettysburg, Barlow posted him men at an exposed position at Barlow's Knoll Salient. It was there that the domino effect started, and uprooted the entire Union Army on July 1st; in that fighting Barlow was wounded. It could be that the Barlow's Knoll experience later encouraged him to be optimistic about the success at the Mule Shoe Salient, in the Battle of Spotsylvania.

Awesome work putting this together, only one criticism though.. At 4:26 Virginia is spelt wrong, unless there is actually a place called Viringia, I did google it to check, but nothing came up... Great stuff.
Beautiful video. Thanks for the creation of this video and for all the hard work necessary to color the images. I love the one scene with the assembled regiment, in camp, surrounded by the smoke from all the fires. It is a world we do not know. I was able to visit a Civil War battlefield (National Park) that was hosting reenactors. The overwhelming odor…horse poop; and this from a handful of horses, not the thousands of horses that traveled with the army. Great channel-thanks.
Дякую. Фотки просто космос, як для мене. Мужній народ, я вдячний йому, що він звільнив мою маму з німецького полону. Будьте розумними як завжди, та бережіть мир.
I walk my dogs around an old cemetery, it's owned by the city. Most headstones are from the mid to late 1800's (most of the birth dates that is). Anyway, I like to imagine especially the folks who were born from like 1830 to 1850, were they in the Civil War. Even the 10 year Olds? The cemetery is usually empty with the exception of city workers cutting the grass and the occasional dog walker like myself. Is it the standard practice to leave headstones that have fallen, left were they fell? I wonder why doesn't someone put it back in place. Anyway, most of these people's families I'm sure are long gone so noon to complain about that. I've even come up with the beginning of a good movie about these people coming back in this day, 2024. Boy they'd be shocked by everything this country has become in so many ways. I'm optimistic though it can change for the better though, if we all worked together and quit letting idiot, deviant criminals run everything.
That track.playing behind the video ,might not be appropriate for the subject, but i love lt anyway, i might just go back and listen again. Do you know who was playing?

This is a photo of the Court-house in the town of Appomattox Court House. The surrender ceremony DID NOT TAKE PLACE in the Court-house, but at the privately-owned home of Wilmer McLean, a citizen of Appomattox Court House.
And of course the attractive woman in the thumbnail is nowhere to be seen in the video - classic clickbait. Not to mention the text-to-speech bot narration and the content mostly ripped off from other sources, probably generated by AI. Hard pass.
Yes, but only at large distances. In the Nashville photos you can see the bayonets of troops that were in urban combat, and there's a lot of videos of cannons in the middle of firing, ironclad battles & coastal action
if you really stare at the pictures you can tell that a lot of them are people from the future using time travel to go back in time to see what it was like to live in the olden days, they are really just playing the part of an oldendays person while the real oldendays people were completely unaware. I'd say about 50% of them look to be these future tourists.,, actually now I've had another smoke about it I'd say it's likely closer to 65%.
These videos are always careful to leave out images of Southern non-combatants suffering. It's harder to sell the propaganda if people see what the union did to people who never took up arms.
As one who came to the US in the early 1960's I have been a US Civil War buff and have visited most of the National Park Service battlefields. My readings have led me to consider that most of the post war north v south political landscape was shaped by A Lincoln allowing CS officers and others to retain horses. arms, etc. One see that as allowing the CA veterans to feel that they were not actually defeated on the battlefield.
Possibly but their life would have been very difficult if they maintained that attitude during the military occupation of the south during the reconstruction years. A time in US history you hear very little about and what you do hear isn't good.
@@johngaither9263 And the freed slaves were not treated well by northerners. And it took another 100 years before a black student could enroll in Mississippi University and Alabama.
We left a union that we VOLUNTARILY joined in the first place. Nothing in the US Constitution said that any State, or group of States, could not leave said union.
Unfortunately the death of Lincoln and the resulting rise in Southern political strength after the war led to the premature end of military occupation of the South. This in turn enabled the rise of Jim Crow and Confederate mythology.
At the start of the war very few people in the north cared one way or another about slavery. Toward the end of the war Lincoln made a point of freeing the slaves and snuck in the 13th amendment that released the slaves. In the South, it was the war of secession. Very few people in the south could afford a slave, it was the big planters that owned the slaves. I'm pretty sure they wanted to keep them!!
El tratado de abolicion se firmo un año y medio despues de empezar la guerra .solo hay que ver como se a tratado s los afroamericanos los 100 años siguientes al final de la guerra . Lo que pasa es que la historia la escribe los vencedores siempre barriendo para casa y conociendo a los yankis ya se sabe. Un saludo
A lot of these photos look like they are taken in a studio. Take for example 4:53. Pause it and look at the photo really well. This is either a studio with a 'nature' backdrop, or the lenses of the cameras in the 1800s were far better capturing depth than they are today?
The plates (film) were very insensitive to light and required very long exposures with everyone told to hold their poses. Lenses were fast and used at wide open apertures to help minimize exposure times... Hence the short depth of focus you've noticed. If you look at the head shot portrait of Lincoln you'll note even his ears are out of focus. With highly sensitive modern cameras, photographers emulate this look by using neutral density filters to cut the light down and let them use wide apertures in daylight situations.
@@Ducati900SS Yes, we all know how those cameras worked and we dont know the 'sensitivities' of the the cameras in that period (just because they looked the same, it doesnt mean they all had the same specs) . Although everyone is holding their poses, most of the (moving) flag is focused almost to perfection apart from a small part), tent is very focuses, but the grass and small wooden structure to the left behind the chair, although is further from the chair but CLOSER from the flag and tent, is out of focus. In all honesty, WE really dont know if the photo was in a studio. We assume (or would like to believe) it was on the battlefield. But for us in 2023, we cant really know 100%
@@onlinebills9169 I'm a tintypist; let me answer your question. Yeah, we don't know the specs of all the cameras from back then, but we can say the same about any era of photography - there's plenty of different cameras used in WW1, we don't know every spec. The tent is definitely real. I suggest you look closely at the original image, these is probably from the colorization; the officers all look a bit weird, and the "black" bit in the tent looks almost fake as well - it's the AI coloring. Compare it to the real photo. Also, the point the other guy made stands - if you go into wetplate photography, or meet a photographer and take images of a particular aperture they definitely give off this distorted effect. Background is a massive copy of a photo if it's fake, it's an insanely detailed background then. 1860s CGI lol.. No studio photos from the time with backdrops look like this, or any other for that matter. You can do this with plenty of analog cameras from the past few decades.
I don't like the way you present the pictures. You zoom into them to pretend more deepness. That is wrong. You spoil the pictures as the artist meant them. Just let them as they are. You spoil a work of art

Why always this beautiful girls as Clickbait!? They never appear.
Pic was click bait
Reading is hard . removed to fast and white letters against light back ground .
Very interesting but not enough time to read info and see the pictures...
Great historic pictures
Hard to accept cool jazz on the soundtrack. Just sayin'.
I read somewhere about Lincoln having brown eyes.
who can tell me something about the music in the background?
Great video however the slow jaz music sucked
I like how the pics are accompanied by 1860s smooth jazz.
Causes Of The Civil War
Video:
Causes of the Civil War
The causes of the Civil War and its cost to a young nation.
More from Wes about the causes of the Civil War.
What led to the outbreak of the bloodiest conflict in the history of North America?
A common explanation is that the Civil War was fought over the moral issue of slavery.
In fact, it was the economics of slavery and political control of that system that was central to the conflict.
A key issue was states' rights.
The Southern states wanted to assert their authority over the federal government so they could abolish federal laws they didn't support, especially laws interfering with the South's right to keep slaves and take them wherever they wished.
Another factor was territorial expansion.
The South wished to take slavery into the western territories, while the North was committed to keeping them open to white labor alone.
Meanwhile, the newly formed Republican party, whose members were strongly opposed to the westward expansion of slavery into new states, was gaining prominence.
Slavery existed in the north until1868 General Grant owned 300 slaves The south fought over Mr Lincoln high tariff Larger states control the country South wanted States. To have right to leave union as 10 Amendment States Supreme court said S outh was right and Lincoln had them put in jail Mr Lincoln. Could. Have avoided war He wanted south cotton for new northern factors. Sou th had always sent it to England he got his way and many Revolutionary solder wer killed. 600/000 died t o form a large federal government we have today government. By corporate giants
97 per cent of the southern solders owned no slaves my great to great grandfather fought for the south he did not believe it right. But the Invasion of the southern states is why. He. Fought that what that sant Andrew flag stand s. For the south. Not slavery slavery was the law of united Statesuntl 14 amendment passed
My father wore a confederate flag on shoulder in Ww11
Read the story of Shuri castle on Okinawa in 1945. After being taken by the 1st Marine Division a Confederate battle flag (the stars and bars version) flew over it for at least a week. It was put up by some Texans, who else right, when no US flag was available. That part of the story is just sometimes left out nowadays.@@sumnerrutledge8332
The South was indeed fighting to preserve the institution of slavery for its perceived economic advantage.
The North was fighting to stop the spread of slavery at first, then the end of slavery altogether.
Slavery was doomed by its ultimate illegality and immorality. It was only a matter of time.
Needed more Confederate photographs.
Amazing material. What was particularly striking was the relative informality of high ranking officers. You would be hard pushed to see similar pictures during the Schleswig Holstein Campaigns or the prusso Austrian war 1866 or the Franco German war 1870.
Video too fast to look at the picture and read
These are emotionally charged, bringing home a connection so far removed from the distance that black and white photography can achieve. I immediately went and watched the Civil War film Glory. After viewing these, the film came to life in a way I had not experienced before.
It's better for modern audiences, no doubt as long as they get the colors right. With historical photographs it's vital that the colors are correct or the artist can embarrass themselves. I saw one of these colorized photographs of Adolph Hitler. The artist must not have known that after Germany declared war on the UK and France on Sept 3 1939, he never wore his brown political uniform again for the rest of this life. The photograph was of a well known late 1940 meeting between the dictator of Spain and Hitler taken at a train station on the French-Spanish border at Hendaye. I saw that and I cringed.
Yeah, I went to the premiere in NYC when he come out around 1985 or 86. I thought that it was a very good movie and rare for Hollywood, historically accurate too.
Gettysburg is another good film about the war.
Highly recommend Ken Burns - The Civil War.
Great pictures and mostly accurate but it's tilted.@@venusrising6554
Enjoyed this so much.just wished the captions on the pictures stayed up a little longer so I could read and then enjoy savoring the pictures as this was so interesting.
Awesome photography, colorization and video. Thx.
What a great channel. Love learning about history. I had a gr gr grandfather who saw Robert E. Lee surrender at Appomattox. He was with Maine cavalry.
slow down some of us old farts can't read that fast
Suggest you keep the text overlay on the photos just a bit longer.
Those were not “African Americans” lol. They were AFRICANS.
Technically, I see your point..
Descendants of slaves brought over in ships from Africa, so African-Americans. Unlike most black people in America today, who go even further back in generational history to get to actual Africans.
Excellent! Funny . Most were northern troops.
Interesting photo of Arabella Barlow. She nursed her husband Francis Channing Barlow after he received several wounds on the 1st days fight at Gettysburg. Sadly I believe Mrs Barlow died later in the war from illness possibly yellow fever. Heck of a war for the Barlow family without doubt.
That's indeed a sad story. She died from typhus in 1864.
Barlow was a very interesting and brilliant New Englander, I believe he was Harvard educated scholar that was left on the field at Gettysburg severely wounded, picked up the Confederates and fought in numerous battles the rest of the war. A very dedicated and brave man indeed. I remember his was a really good story but I've forgotten most of the details. 🤔since I read about him many decades ago.
The predominantly Germanic 11th Corps disliked Barlow, who harbored a prejudice against Germans. Why they put Barlow into command of them is beyond me?
At Gettysburg, Barlow posted him men at an exposed position at Barlow's Knoll Salient. It was there that the domino effect started, and uprooted the entire Union Army on July 1st; in that fighting Barlow was wounded.
It could be that the Barlow's Knoll experience later encouraged him to be optimistic about the success at the Mule Shoe Salient, in the Battle of Spotsylvania.
. . The captions printed in white are difficult to read and the time given to read complete lines runs rapid, insufficient time . …perhaps sharp blue print can stand out better ?. . .
. . ✨ sorry, but I love these photo montages that you’ve created along with a music score, thought to let you know this commentary . .✨
Awesome work putting this together, only one criticism though.. At 4:26 Virginia is spelt wrong, unless there is actually a place called Viringia, I did google it to check, but nothing came up... Great stuff.
Beautiful work. Thank you for sharing.
States rights!
Beautiful video. Thanks for the creation of this video and for all the hard work necessary to color the images. I love the one scene with the assembled regiment, in camp, surrounded by the smoke from all the fires. It is a world we do not know. I was able to visit a Civil War battlefield (National Park) that was hosting reenactors. The overwhelming odor…horse poop; and this from a handful of horses, not the thousands of horses that traveled with the army. Great channel-thanks.
I Don't Know Who She Is But I Think The Lady In The Photograph Is Beautiful
I have subscribed. Its great work ❤❤
Leave the text up longer please. Awesome video. Thanks.
Дякую. Фотки просто космос, як для мене. Мужній народ, я вдячний йому, що він звільнив мою маму з німецького полону. Будьте розумними як завжди, та бережіть мир.
Please create a video of old aviation history.
The US Civil War was NOT about ENDING SLAVERY! Lincoln wrote multiple letters to newspapers explicitly positing this. Look them up.
I walk my dogs around an old cemetery, it's owned by the city. Most headstones are from the mid to late 1800's (most of the birth dates that is). Anyway, I like to imagine especially the folks who were born from like 1830 to 1850, were they in the Civil War. Even the 10 year Olds? The cemetery is usually empty with the exception of city workers cutting the grass and the occasional dog walker like myself. Is it the standard practice to leave headstones that have fallen, left were they fell? I wonder why doesn't someone put it back in place. Anyway, most of these people's families I'm sure are long gone so noon to complain about that. I've even come up with the beginning of a good movie about these people coming back in this day, 2024. Boy they'd be shocked by everything this country has become in so many ways. I'm optimistic though it can change for the better though, if we all worked together and quit letting idiot, deviant criminals run everything.
Custer's Last Stand. The American Indians, Outlaws, Cowboy's
It's amazing to see old photos of a war when only one side is shown!
A reflection of the technological superiority of that side?
here ya go Union side as always.....
As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free; our God is marching on!
That track.playing behind the video ,might not be appropriate for the subject, but i love lt anyway, i might just go back and listen again.
Do you know who was playing?
Any confederate photos?
thumbnail is complete bullsheist... a perfectly plucked eyebrow on the female in 1860?! ha ha ha
The conflict had different reasons. Slavery was not one of them.
Never again. This days civilwar with moderndays skills to kill humans, would be next level about victims. Stay calm there in U.S and here in Europa. Merry C to all.
Yo NumNutZzz 😅😮😅 there are more slaves in America now Then any time in history 40 million, Americans are ON or below the Poverty line. Have a think about that for a moment or two please!?!
Interesting photos, but I never subscribe to channels that use clickbait images on thumbnail. Also, the music grated. I know it’s a difficult problem.
5:36... Side and frontal facial mugshot of a disgraced war criminal, robert lee ☺☺✌✌☺☺✌✌
0:54 Asmongold?! Bottom left.
That was awsome. Maybe it's me but I wish it went much slower even more than twice the speed reduced. I kept having to back it up and try to pause, but the pause sucks bc my viewer is screened with adverts at 50 %
Jazz music is a terrible choice for this video. AND, yes the subtitles are on for way to short a time. EPIC FAIL
Your assumption is incorrect. The Civil War initially was not about slavery.
This is a photo of the Court-house in the town of Appomattox Court House. The surrender ceremony DID NOT TAKE PLACE in the Court-house, but at the privately-owned home of Wilmer McLean, a citizen of Appomattox Court House.
Truly rotten,lousy background music. And unnecessary.
lol, REAL PHOTOS, and then use an AI generated image for the thumbnail.
Great posts thank you so much
And of course the attractive woman in the thumbnail is nowhere to be seen in the video - classic clickbait. Not to mention the text-to-speech bot narration and the content mostly ripped off from other sources, probably generated by AI. Hard pass.
Any photos of actual troops engaged in actual battle??
Yes, but only at large distances. In the Nashville photos you can see the bayonets of troops that were in urban combat, and there's a lot of videos of cannons in the middle of firing, ironclad battles & coastal action
一瞬、動画まで残ってたのか！と、勘違いw
この頃の日本は尊皇攘夷運動真っ盛り
if you really stare at the pictures you can tell that a lot of them are people from the future using time travel to go back in time to see what it was like to live in the olden days, they are really just playing the part of an oldendays person while the real oldendays people were completely unaware. I'd say about 50% of them look to be these future tourists.,, actually now I've had another smoke about it I'd say it's likely closer to 65%.
The number of casualties has been revised, it now stands at 800,000, with another 50,000 civilian casualties.
These videos are always careful to leave out images of Southern non-combatants suffering. It's harder to sell the propaganda if people see what the union did to people who never took up arms.
As one who came to the US in the early 1960's I have been a US Civil War buff and have visited most of the National Park Service battlefields. My readings have led me to consider that most of the post war north v south political landscape was shaped by A Lincoln allowing CS officers and others to retain horses. arms, etc. One see that as allowing the CA veterans to feel that they were not actually defeated on the battlefield.
Possibly but their life would have been very difficult if they maintained that attitude during the military occupation of the south during the reconstruction years. A time in US history you hear very little about and what you do hear isn't good.
@@johngaither9263 And the freed slaves were not treated well by northerners. And it took another 100 years before a black student could enroll in Mississippi University and Alabama.
Grant was the last President to be a slave owner.
We left a union that we VOLUNTARILY joined in the first place. Nothing in the US Constitution said that any State, or group of States, could not leave said union.
Unfortunately the death of Lincoln and the resulting rise in Southern political strength after the war led to the premature end of military occupation of the South. This in turn enabled the rise of Jim Crow and Confederate mythology.
At the start of the war very few people in the north cared one way or another about slavery. Toward the end of the war Lincoln made a point of freeing the slaves and snuck in the 13th amendment that released the slaves. In the South, it was the war of secession. Very few people in the south could afford a slave, it was the big planters that owned the slaves. I'm pretty sure they wanted to keep them!!
Wonderful video! But the music doesn't do justice.....🤔
El tratado de abolicion se firmo un año y medio despues de empezar la guerra .solo hay que ver como se a tratado s los afroamericanos los 100 años siguientes al final de la guerra . Lo que pasa es que la historia la escribe los vencedores siempre barriendo para casa y conociendo a los yankis ya se sabe. Un saludo
Is there anything more dumb than civil wars ? Brother against Brother.
Unlike some of the commenters, I deeply appreciated the music. Who were the artists and what is the recording?
4:13 is at Massaponax Church in Spotsylvania, Va.
7:28 A flock of Flying Nuns.
The music doesn't match. When I think of that time period, I don't hear "Jazz".
7:46 You Welcome☝😁
A lot of these photos look like they are taken in a studio. Take for example 4:53. Pause it and look at the photo really well. This is either a studio with a 'nature' backdrop, or the lenses of the cameras in the 1800s were far better capturing depth than they are today?
The plates (film) were very insensitive to light and required very long exposures with everyone told to hold their poses. Lenses were fast and used at wide open apertures to help minimize exposure times... Hence the short depth of focus you've noticed. If you look at the head shot portrait of Lincoln you'll note even his ears are out of focus. With highly sensitive modern cameras, photographers emulate this look by using neutral density filters to cut the light down and let them use wide apertures in daylight situations.
@@Ducati900SS Yes, we all know how those cameras worked and we dont know the 'sensitivities' of the the cameras in that period (just because they looked the same, it doesnt mean they all had the same specs) . Although everyone is holding their poses, most of the (moving) flag is focused almost to perfection apart from a small part), tent is very focuses, but the grass and small wooden structure to the left behind the chair, although is further from the chair but CLOSER from the flag and tent, is out of focus.
In all honesty, WE really dont know if the photo was in a studio. We assume (or would like to believe) it was on the battlefield. But for us in 2023, we cant really know 100%
Indeed. Research instantaneous photography of the period, there's amazing stuff that was done.@@Ducati900SS
@@onlinebills9169 I'm a tintypist; let me answer your question. Yeah, we don't know the specs of all the cameras from back then, but we can say the same about any era of photography - there's plenty of different cameras used in WW1, we don't know every spec.
The tent is definitely real. I suggest you look closely at the original image, these is probably from the colorization; the officers all look a bit weird, and the "black" bit in the tent looks almost fake as well - it's the AI coloring. Compare it to the real photo. Also, the point the other guy made stands - if you go into wetplate photography, or meet a photographer and take images of a particular aperture they definitely give off this distorted effect. Background is a massive copy of a photo if it's fake, it's an insanely detailed background then. 1860s CGI lol.. No studio photos from the time with backdrops look like this, or any other for that matter. You can do this with plenty of analog cameras from the past few decades.
Nice. Might try Civil War era music instead of jazz.
I don't like the way you present the pictures. You zoom into them to pretend more deepness. That is wrong. You spoil the pictures as the artist meant them. Just let them as they are. You spoil a work of art
Все грязные оборванцы какие-то, включая Линкольна.
