I appreciate this photo. Most of these sort of photos were taken as soldiers went off to war, to leave behind as mementos. It is true that in the initial rush off to war many masters took their slaves with them as personal servants and in some cases could have outfitted them as soldiers, but the CSA army quickly weeded them out of anything close to combat duty.
