These are pretty amazing considering they were taken up to 145 years ago: A compendium of photos from the Civil War era. Truly fortunate that so many of these have survived.

They load too slow on this computer, but the ones I did see are awesome.

Oh, ratz! Link not working for me, either.
I'm salivating to see the photos.

I’ve recently started collecting Civil War tintypes, an expensive hobby (lol). Amazing photos, thanks for the link.

Was able to see all the pictures after a few minutes, amazing. Makes you wonder what they would think of what is going on today.

The Yankees had some awesome officers. Sherman would have made a good Southern general.

Lee blew it at Gettysburg, had he taken the high ground upon arriving the war might have gone the other way...and maybe state's right would be taken more seriously. (Damn Joshua Chamberlain and the 20th Maine)
Gen. George Pickitt.

Not so. The South had the cancer of slavery eating at its belly. The whole mountain region was supporting the North. A lot of southerners didn’t want to die for a bunch of rich landowners who sent slaves instead of sons. Choosing Richmond for the capital was a big mistake.
The North’s manufacturing capacity spelled doom for the Confederacy.

Possibly, but at that point in the war the North was losing and demoralized. A loss at Gettysburg may have pushed public sentiment over the edge in the North. Slavery was going to end soon, anyway, IMHO, but the state’s rights argument was lost forever.
