Stunning Civil War Photos In High Resolution (48 photos)

very nice

nice pix....

Yeah some of those photo's really had me thinking about how it was back then. I love looking at historic photo's like this in a nice resolution..awesome stuff to give your mind a good thinking...interesting indeed.

Stunning. Hopefully these will help serve as a reminder of the horrors of war.

wow op, those are some of the most amazing photo's i have ever seen of the civil war. almost seems like you could reach right in and touch a part of history.

Amazing photo's, Reminds me of an old Khrushchev quote.


We and you ought not pull on the ends of a rope in which you have tied the knots of war. Because the more the two of us pull the tighter the knot will be tied. And then it will be necessary to cut that knot, and what that would mean is not for me to explain to you. I have participated in two wars and know that war ends when it has rolled through cities and villages, everywhere sowing death and destruction. For such is the logic of war. If people do not display wisdom they will clash like blind moles and then mutual annihilation will commence. - Khrushchev

They were constantly standing around in mud during the Civil War. Endless mud.

From previous studies of Civil War Photos, I was able to pick out about 1/3 of the places where the photo was taken BEFORE the description below the picture.

I was in the Civil War, fought on the side of the South for independence from Northern Tyranny/control of the South. Been to Gettysburg, Antetiem and other sites, but the one that sent shivers up my spine was where the CT regiments on the Northern approaches of the city met the attacking forces of Lee's Army on the first day of battle. July 1st, 1863. I think that is where I died; to be reincarnated twice more.

Other than that, only remember being 'third man back' in Alexander the Greats phalanx, holding onto one of the spears that stopped any attacking men from the front.

Thanks for posting this link OP. Haven't seen many of these and never in such detail.

something like a third of all civil war deaths was the result of malaria and diseases, things like dysentary

five year old thread? but good pics to check out

If you look at some of those pictures closely they have weird effects, it looks like ghostly people in places, you can see through them. First one was two men by the water edge, then more as you go down, some of or most parts of the picture seem normal until the ones you can see through!
