Original Civil War photographs




Adjusting the ropes for hanging the Lincoln assassination conspirators at the Washington Arsenal. In this photo I cropped in tight so you can actually see the faces of the conspirators as the ropes are being place around their necks, just moments before their execution.





An explosion inside of Fort Sumter. It is interesting to note that this was the first time in history that an explosion was captured by a camera.










interesting site.

Looks like a messican at the first position to be hung.

[tphillip23]

yeah, that's crazy.
it's weird looking at those pictures of all the dead bodies

[A Black Guy]

One of the more famous pictures to come out of the war from Gettysburg.

It's trippy to see pictures of people that just died ... 140 years ago.

The Civil War started 100 years before I was born and every time I see this site it seems like 100 years is just a small step in time. I can never just look at these pics and go I'm stuck here for a while like there are all these windows through which you get to cheat time.
