Some nice Civil war photographs I found.

Of course, I also think lines should be able to move in double rank without having emotional breakdowns.

Company streets got done up like that for Christmas. Haven't seen anything that elaborate ever photgraphed though.

Good finds!

Interesting, some men seems to be sporting boots, others even have gaiters!

likely this unit was in camp and not on campaign for gaiters and especially boots were done away with while on campaign.

Some more submissions

My professor just showed this picture in class yesterday to show how the Federal Navy was integrated during the War.

It still seems that most black men are off to the right side and separated from the white men however.

these photos always give me the chills, to think that these were real men that fought and some even died in a big conflict. I have so much respect for these lads.

Same here. To think that these men and women have been dead for well over one hundred years, yet the photos look as if they could have been taken yesterday. There's just something absolutely fascinating and a little bit eerie about photographs this old.

Some colorized photographs from the Civil war era. https://i.imgur.com/a/FG08X

Warning, the last picture in the album might be considered "NSFW". You have been warned.

I fully agree.

There's a subreddit(Where I got these pictures from) that has quite alot of Civil war Photos. They also have a impressive portfolio of photos from other wars as well. Might be a good idea to check them out.
