As a Civil War buff, I really enjoyed the photos. Although Matthew Brady made invaluable contributions to Civil War photography, some of his images of dead soldiers on the battlefield were re-staged for the benefit of the camera.

The American Civil war was total war... nothing like the nearly antiseptic, pinpoint strikes common today. We don't practice full-out war anymore. The liberals will not allow it.

"Get there first with the most." Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest
"It is well that war is terrible, lest we become too fond of it." Gen. Robert E. Lee

Interesting link. The soldiers and families were tough. I wonder could "Americans" today handle this? I think not.
