[@juliajohnson6022]

Amazing pictures.👏🇺🇸. No heavyset people back then.

[@richardcz1954]

Great colorized photographs

[@yvonneplant9434]

So will people in the future even know the real photos were in black and white?

[@TheExposerofLies]

Nice video but why the fake thumbnail? TD and NS.

[@estelleadamski308]

My great- grandpa who was a Civil War veteran voted for Lincoln on his second term. He had never voted before.

Video producer needs to proofread the captions.

[@J.Beltran]

I think so.

[@kenrhoades2602]

Dates are all over the place.

[@JohnAnderson-ss9vn]

it always amazes me how old people looked back then .i suppose poor nutrition and health care as well as poor sanitation but people seemed old before their time

[@panatypical]

They weren't fat and happy, like people want to be now. We look younger for our age, but we're pudgy. Someone else in the comments mentioned how you didn't have fat people in these photographs. I think there's also another reason for that.

[@panatypical]

See my comment above rather than this reply.

[@JohnAnderson-ss9vn]

@panatypical as someone who grew up in the 1950s there were very few fat people then compared to now

[@panatypical]

@@JohnAnderson-ss9vn Yeah I'm not taking issue with that. But nowadays there are a lot more teletubbies. I was born in the early fifties too.

[@JohnAnderson-ss9vn]

@@panatypical I'm definitely with you on that one bro

[@mariomantero5531]

Not easy to make out federal from confederate by uniforms....

[@panatypical]

These photos seem more like they're of the photo op type. They lack a candid quality. I think the Civil War was something else altogether.

The american civil war medical field hospitals were no better than the Napoleonic era, apart from one (mercifully) important advancement that was -pain relief they had morphine gum and Chloroform , however just like wars before, the number one killer was bacteria / infection / disease and since it wasnt understood, wounded soldiers died in the thousands , army surgeons would use unsterile surgical instrument, start working on each soldier , moving from one patient to another removing limbs, using the same bloody surgical instruments, wiping his blood soaked hands on his apron, which was already contaminated with previous operations as a result transfer of festering infectious blood and puss got into wounds of other soldiers thousand died of blood infection,sepsis/gangrene, but, amazingly lots managed to survive the ordeal too...! which is a miracle, the actual final overall deaths of the american civil , some historians estimate over 600,000, maybe more, no one knows for sure records were never kept, is a staggering number,

[@mickythefish4535]

How are they heartbreaking?

[@georgenelson8917]

Bunk, the woman a kid on the thumbnail is MODERN PHOTO,not a 1860s photo . Be honest please

[@larspolten]

was für ein clickbait thumbnail, bä

[@derek6579]

Soldier in confederate uniform? Surely it’s a Yankee uniform?? At 345

[@J.Beltran]

The photos is nor heartbreaking. Boring

[@cardboardboxification]

and not one thank you for the 620,000 men who died to free the slaves , still bitching about slavery today

[@billymatthews7346]

The entire world 🌐 is one big bitch ❗️

[@dannibarber5793]

That's not the real reason for the war read some real history

[@trumanbentley9491]

Abe what. Long may the name Jefferson Davis live in Valhalla and the worrrrrrrrrrlllllld!

[@richardbarton2709]

One sided pictures unfortunately.

[@yvonneplant9434]

Most of the fighting was literally in the south. Lee miscalculated by trying to bring the war into Pennsylvania. Huge mistake.

Columbia S.C. 1965? Took 101 years for those pesky Yanks to escape!
