Distressing that we still have comments stating that slavery was not the key issue. It absolutely was. Read what the confederate states said themselves when they left the union.
As a UK citizen I am baffled as to why some elements in America still seem to regard armed rebellion against legitimate, democratically elected government as something to be celebrated.

You begin this video of photographs, stating that you are -honoring- the soldiers of the Civil War. But in truth, you are honoring the Union soldiers and barely mentioning the Confederate soldiers. Remember: It is the victors that write history. Great people of the South were killed for THEIR beliefs as well. and most Southerners did NOT own slaves!

Love to see black soldiers who actually fought in a war. I hate falsification of history in the name of wokeness which we're seeing everywhere these days. They bled and suffered heroically just like everybody else in the american civil war. Love to see that documented without needing to falsify facts.

A lot of these photos look like they are taken in a studio. Take for example 4: 53. Pause it and look at the photo really well. This is either a studio with a 'nature' backdrop, or the lenses of the cameras in the 1800s were far better capturing depth than they are today?

These are emotionally charged, bringing home a connection so far removed from the distance that black and white photography can achieve. I immediately went and watched the Civil War film Glory. After viewing these, the film came to life in a way I had not experienced before.

Fascinating video, thank you. Considering the context of the subject matter, I didn't see a reason for pointing out the ethnicity of the African Americans/black people in the captions? There's no mention of race or ethnicity with the images of white soldiers and families.

Any pictures of Vicksburg after the fight? My. great-grandmother said that as a very young girl she was brought to cave/celler where it was so damp she felt child even at that time of year. Got to see a favorite uncle make a visit, the last time she ever saw him.

Great video. The pictures were amazing. But I am disappointed that there are barely any pictures illustrating the Confederate side. Other than confederate POWs and hierarchs (EG; Robert E Lee, Jefferson Davis, I don't remembers seeing anything about the South.

37% of The Civil War was about Slavery, The Rest was About States Rights, One Sided Trade Agreements, And -Rich Men North Of Richmond-. However, had The North lost, The Emancipation Proclamation would have been Unenforceable in The South.

The white supremacists and ruthless slavers lost back then, and they will lose again in 2024. America will never go back to the 1800s, America will never be an Authoritarian state. There will never be a monarchy. Lock him up 2024!

This is a photo of the Court-house in the town of Appomattox Court House. The surrender ceremony DID NOT TAKE PLACE in the Court-house, but at the privately-owned home of Wilmer McLean, a citizen of Appomattox Court House.

Fools who say slavery had nothing to do with the Civil War forget about the precursor to the war, Bleeding Kansas. The fighting there was all about whether Kansas would be admitted to the Union as a free or a slave state.

That was awsome. Maybe it's me but I wish it went much slower even more than twice the speed reduced. I kept having to back it up and try to pause, but the pause sucks bc my viewer is screened with adverts at 50 %

A civil war? Looks to me everyone is just posing for propaganda. There are no photo's of anyone actually fighting. Just posing and dead bodies, all on their backs? odd. Photo's are propaganda meek's

The Civil War was over slavery. The Boston Tea Party took place in 1773 and opposed taxation by Britain, 88 years before the Civil War. The war of independence followed in 1775

I am sure this is a good video, however, spoilt by music choice and the picture frames with titles were too short not allowing enough time to digest the text. Sorry! -

The text and images should be left up longer. We have to read text and absorb the images in an amount of time that is too short. Why the hurry? Have to back up and pause.

Can-t stand click bait. Never showed the photo of the pretty woman with the details behind it. Click bait photo has nothing to do with this video.

The white captions are both visually intrusive AND not on-screen long enough to be read comfortably. Whoever did this is a fool.

It's kind of strange that it was only 100 odd years before 'The Summer of Love' when young Americans were being sent to war in Vietnam.

The US Civil War was NOT about ENDING SLAVERY! Lincoln wrote multiple letters to newspapers explicitly positing this. Look them up.

You made it fake by colorizing. Now it's from 2023. It's actually useless. I might as well read the cereal box.
