Blasts from the past: photographing the American civil war in 2015
620,000 dead, cities in ruin ... the civil war decimated the United States. To mark the 150th anniversary of its end, Guardian photographer David Levene took a trip across America to re-create some of the most iconic photographs taken at the time

“620,000 dead, cities in ruin ... “
620,000 dead out of a population of roughly 30,000,000. Devastating indeed

We never had a civil war. USA didn’t exist until the Obama descended from the heavens. History must never offend anyone. Unless it’s Bush’s fault.

The picture of the dead at Devil’s Den is widely known by Civil War historians to have been staged (the dead were actually very much alive).

Why does it take a British newspaper to publish history photos of the Civil War?
I like the slider with every picture to transform the photograph to present day. The soldiers look like ghosts.
Thank you for posting.
