I have a poor copy of the 10 volume “Photographic History of the Civil War” The picture are kind of fuzzy but I have seen a first edition from the early 1900s and the pictures are very sharp and detailed.

“Are they using the American flag as a table-cloth”?

Also notice the confederate flag lying on the ground

Wow that’s something else. I wonder what he would say about today about a President that has done everything he can since his first day one to divide the country, even in a local case, even purposely and deliberately putting the life of an individual citizen at risk because that citizen defended himself from an attack.

That’s Marse Robert’s son Custis.

The one on the right is Walter Taylor, Lee's chief of staff.

Of course nearly all the generals of the civil war were political officers. Lincoln had to have a large number of Democrat generals. The Confederacy had to do something with all the military friends of Jeff Davis.

And you note who lost.

Last month a cannonball was found in downtown Atlanta.

Click to see a picture of it. Also interesting pictures of a robot putting the cannonball into an explosives containment vehicle.

Can you imagine what those eyes have seen?

I am sure the devil's spawn had great eyesight.

Matthew Brady was a prick that had no problem taking “moral boosting” pictures of dead and bloated soldiers, as long as they wore grey uniforms. In 1863 he had an exhibition called the dead of Antietam or some such horse crap in NYC.

LoL

The irony in that query

Clint Eastwood is a member of Sons of Confederate veterans

That’s same as a Nazi to some here.. lol

Clint didn’t do Josey Wales or the Beguiled or TGTBATU from the perspective he did by coincidence
