1860s USA - Heartbreaking Photos Of Civil War America - Colorized
The civil war claimed the lives of approximately 620.000 young men, tore families apart, and shaped a nation. The conflict holds immense historical significance.
In this video, we honor the courage of the brave souls who endured this tumultuous period, a conflict that played a pivotal role in ending a brutal practice in the United States.
Today we're bringing these war-torn images to life in vivid color.

thank you so much for this wonderful video.
I watch this with the jazz music turned off and civil war era music. So much better.
Slavery is up there with the holocaust as one of the most horrific things mankind has ever done, as an Englishmen I am fully aware that I benefit from the legacy of slavery in that I live in one of the richest countries in the world thanks in part to the misery and brutality inflicted on enslaved Africans.
It's amazing what the colorization of black and white photos can do. I've seen photos of world war 1 and world war 2 Colorized, but I haven't seen the civil war photos colorized. What a transformation. It puts it into a truly different perspective altogether.
Yes it does hits differently, we assimilate closer to their times so it feels like it was just a few years back, amazing to think that other than just technology the human trait has not changed and will never change.
What a shame. All their heroism and bravery, and look at us now. The sacrifice has been squandered. America-It was great while it lasted.
Follow the money... Root of all wars!
Thanks for colorizing these photos! I grew up near Gettysburg, and had family members on both sides of the war. That led me to study the history of the appalling conflict for most of my life. Very early in the process, I realized that people didn't grasp the depth of the events due to the black & white photos. I explained, "You know, all this happened in color, and it was horrific." ...We are a very visual species.
On the contrary, I like black and white photos because it's history
I always found black and white photos to be a hell of a lot more eerie
Black and white doesn't show the color red
Excellent..
I hope we have learned...i have my doubts.
lol...weapons are our number two export and war is our number one industry!
I am watching at these people through colored pixels on plasma screen drawn over worlwide digital network via satellite dish. Who of the people on the picture would even thought then they would be observed this way by 10 generations after....
3:13 is that man wearing a kilt skirt?
2024 and still so much divide …
Thank those in power who want us to be divided so that they may enslave us all to a New World Order.
But joey day one said he was going to unite all of America.. Liar.
@@garylambert4549 Liar? you can't unite who does not want to be part of it. Blame the people ... There is no reason in 2024 to vote Trump besides being really childish and messed up - partisan brain washed.
Really great video. My Great-Great-Great Grandfather Conrad Rice was a private. He enlisted on October 10, 1862 and was mustered with the 153rd Infantry, Company H in Pennsylvania. He was apparently transferred to the 56th Regiment and killed in the battle of Petersburg, VA on June 20, 1864. His son, my Great-Great Grandfather Samuel Rice was a corporal. He enlisted September 25, 1861 with the 11th Regiment, Company H in Pennsylvania. Samuel fought in Gettysburg, PA. After the war he spent his life in public service in Northampton, Northampton County, Pennsylvania.
Was Samuel under the command of W.S. Hancock in Gettysburg?
Not that I have a record of. His fighting in Gettysburg was according to an article in the Allentown, PA, Morning Call, July 15, 1925, he, his wife and my great grandfather John, his son celebrated his 84th birthday by driving to Gettysburg and going over the battlefields on which he fought on in 1862. The more detailed info I [do] have came from an article published in the Allentown, PA Morning Call, Friday July 24, 1922, and from Civil War Records. He was born July 14, 1841 in Howertown, Northampton County, PA. He enlisted Aug. 24, 1861 from Northampton county, PA and served three years, or during the war. He mustered into the US Army at Philadelphia, September 25, 1861 as a private under Captain Samuel Wetherhill, later W. H. Seip's company "H", 11th regiment. Colonel Josiah Harlan commanding. In the spring the companies were detailed to Newport News, Portsmouth, Suffolk, White House Landing and Williamsburg, reuniting at Suffolk in August of 1862. Defeated a superior force of the enemy's cavalry at Beaver Dam Church and took an active part in the siege of Suffolk, Virginia. Was on duty for more than two years in all parts of Virginia and took part in many skirmishes and attacks. Captured many prisoners and more than two hundred field pieces. He was appointed Bugler at Fortress Monroe and was taken prisoner May 30, 1862 while on an expedition to burn Blackwater Bridge. Paroled and exchanged in September, 1862 when he rejoined his command. He was honorably discharged September 25th, 1864 by reason of expiration of his term of enlistment.
All my relatives were either herding goats or farming the land in Europe.
and funny how the world turns here we are again same descent different time
Reparations were paid with life.
Amen!!
My great grandfather lost an arm at Gettysburg and was captured by the Yankees and was released in a prisoner exchange. He lived to be 90 and remarried after his first wife died and had 3 more kids one was my grandmother who was 11 years old when he passed away.
More emotions.
It would be cool to show all the Billy Graham crusades in his career.
Seems like it could've happened yesterday when you look at these photos in color. You can still relate to these things
Well the way things are going, it might happen Tomorrow!
Yeah,, it hits so differently..
Those Damm Yankees sure destroyed everything
And they free the slavery🎉
It makes you wonder if the South just wanted to defend their homes from total destruction by a domestic threat at the time. To say it was a war "to end slavery" is complete BS. The North had slaves as well and like I said in another person's comment, Abe Lincoln was going to ship the free slaves back to Africa. He probably would have done it too if John Wilkes Booth had not assassinated him. No winners in this war
And stole from and terrorized civilians
@@suzanneflowers2230 Pretty hypocritical to point out "stealing FROM terrorized civilians" when the Souths whole industry was literally STEALING civilians and enslaving them for life or beating them to death for not being a good enough slave.
They burned farms and slaughtered innocent people In the South because the South would not sell their cotton and other goods to them at rock bottom prices.
I researched my family tree for years and have it on Ancestry. I found some branches in America, one of the sons was Lieutenant John Blagg of the Virginia Regiment who served in the American Revolutionary War with George Washington. One of his direct descendants was my great great grandfather, George Blagg, who ended up in England in the mid 1800s.
Notice, in photos of battlefield dead, you will see pockets turned inside out of coats ripped open.

My 4x Great Grandfather died in the Civil War and is buried in a mass grave in Tennessee. After he died, his son joined at 15 and survived to then have 12 children. I'm barely here to type this out :D
Please let the accompanying sit long enough for reading
You should get ready for your next..
I can't understand why today we approaching the same way. Way blind government can't see the same consequences?.
Because the people in the south keep lying to their people about slavery and the evils of bigotry so the current republican party think they are so smart and will bring it back and the world will be ok with that. They WILLFULLY refuse to learn from real history so they WANT TO REPEAT IT.
The boomers in charge don't care.
I had 16 ancestors in that war, Southern Pride is still alive, “that Bonnie Blue Flag with the Single Star”
Amen
Weird flex to say you had 16 ancestors that were complete and total losers but ok.
@@damonhicks969 No one with any true understanding of the Civil War and those who fought on either side would have made such an Un-American and disrespectful comment. You should politely apologize and make an attempt to regain any honor you may have previously possessed.
@jameydenison2045 I spent 2 semesters In college covering the Civil war and it is not unamerican to be sick and tired of the southern pride "what i really mean is i love slavery" garbage that is destroying our country. The same attitudes back then and the same rhetoric used is the same shit we hear today from sitting senators and congress that want White Christian nationalism as the sole and main power in government. The Marjorie Greene's and the Bobert's and the Cottons and the Kennedy's and the evil men like gov Greg Abbott that think setting death traps to kill people he hates is acceptable and he will break federal law to do it. And the Republican parties in SEVERAL southern states that deliberately draw the most racist district maps possible then when told that is unconstitutional please draw and resubmit a fair one they say fuck you Supreme Court WE DONT CARE WHAT BLACK PEOPLE IN OUR STATE WANT WHE ARE GOING TO CIRCLE THEM IN A DISTRICT, REMOVE ALL THE POWER AND VOTING LOCATIONS FROM THAT DISTRICT, MAKE SPECIFIC LAWS FOR THAT DISTRICT TO MAKE IT EVEN HARDER FOR MINORITIES TO VOTE BECAUSE THE WILL OF THE VOTERS MEANS SHIT TO US! ONLY AUTHORITARIAN CONTROL OVER PEOPLE WE HATE! And MY ancestors were tobacco plantation owners in Kentucky enslaving thousands of humans and raping and selling their babies, and killing them and treating them like cattle. I saw the slave cells, I saw the whips and guns used to keep them in line, I saw the photos of the brutality of what they endured and their backs full of scars and at the bottom of the picture was the title slaves owned by C. Higginbotham my old family name that we changed because we don't take FUCKING PRIDE in the acts of our southern ancestors and their name was wiped from the earth in 1995 when I got the call saying my great grandfather the last Higginbotham that had "SOUTHERN PRIDE" and refused to change his name, died in Paducah KY. When i got on ancestry.com and started searching my family and learned i had distant cousins that were black but had 8% of my DNA because my ancestors raped their ancestors. It was a part of my history but I don't have to make racism and hate my culture, I don't even want to wipe out the history i think everyone should learn it but not the lies the south teaches kids. When I grew up in KY our school books said they were servants and treated fairly and paid well for their labor. I was told lies and anyone that thinks the confederacy was ANYTHING to be proud of then they were lied to as well. How do YOU square the lies that i was taught they were well treaded and paid only to do actual DNA research and find they were raped, and the babies were stolen from the mother and sold to the plantation a few miles away. and that happened again and again so I have WAY distant relatives all the way in Tennessee and Florida all with MY same DNA from a serial slave raping ancestor. Like anyone that believes the lies of TRUMP and his CULT; we have all the lies and crimes on video and they will be preserved and told forever and I am sure that in the racist south they will lie and say trump was the greatest president ever and he was a holy man chosen by god and he loved the bible even though he cant quote 1 verse from memory for a billion dollars. But we have learned our lesson, if you don't eradicate the disease it will keep infecting the whole body. we should have amputated the gangrenous leg the first time but we didn't and let "southern pride lies" fester and when MAGA attempted a coup we gave them a slap of the wrist. But now we know if you let them live you just gave them a training exercise for the next attempt and if the south wants another civil war this time the nukes will fly and those that survive will meet the gallows. WE ARE DONE FUCKING AROUND WITH YOU RACIST SISTER FUCKING BASTARDS! I WILL NEVER APOLOGISE TO A FUCKING RACIST THAT BELIEVES PRIDE IN WHAT THE CONFEDERACY TRAITORS DID HAD ANY HONOR AT ALL! MY honor is in tact because I am not the one saying blatant EVIL is honorable. This is how you sound to me. Internet goon: I have 16 ancestors that ran a concentration camp systematically raping and murdering Jews and i am soooo proud of them #NAZIPRIDE!. ME: your ancestors were monsters why are you proud of that?? YOU: you don't know your history the Nazi party were honorable and decent men as they raped and murdered their way across Europe, and you should say sorry if you have any honor! ME: GO SUCK HITLERS DICK YOU FUCKING NAZI!
We still have the "Daughters of The Confederate", some of them are in Central Florida. Beautiful women, and history.
Thought I saw Keef Richard’s in some of these photos?
Love the picture of the pretty Miller girl @9:53. She's smiling and doesn't have your typical 19th century pose. I imagine she's either a young mother or older sister to the two kids next to her. It's a rare civil war picture to actually be able to see a little personality in a photo from that era
Constructive criticism, if your captions are too long, they can be difficult or impossible to read in the time you've changed to the next image.
Press pause 😮
@@Plq4672 you must be ‘some kind of smart brain bug’ 😊
@@starliteparkit doesn't take much to pause shit, unless you're a useless fuck, something im sure you hear on the daily.
Very Union centric. I'm guessing, because they lost, there is less confederate material to colorize. Great job with what you have.
Not only that but photography was very difficult and expensive to achieve. The chemical solutions required to develop plates were hard to come by in the South. Gary Adelman with the American Battlefield Trust has a good video or two you can research.
I don’t think it’s the fact the south lost, way more newspapers and media reports were widely seen and accessible compared to the south.
Great pictures sorry if this sounds a stupid question I always wondered when I see pictures that have been colorized how do they know what the colours were .. Thank you Gary
They use computer programs to check the levels of grey and black in the photos as well as historian research there is a KZhead video on how it is done now days it’s pretty cool. I’m not great at describing it but it is out there
History WILL repeat itself if this country continues the path it's going. 😢 This was what we never want again in America. With history being torn down, and destroyed this will be inevitable. We have to do better as a nation. We are ALL in this together. "UNITED WE STAND" BUT, "DIVIDED WE FALL". We have to come together for the greater good of America and it's constitution. 🙏🏼🇺🇲💪🏿💪🏾💪🏽💪🏼
I remember reading somewhere that the amount of amputations in the Civil War was proportionately the highest of any war...truly horrific.😞
And in WW1 it was facial reconstructions due to the trench warfare … due to the ammunition used in the CW many bones were shredded.
Highest number of American deaths of any War.
@@jamesdeeton4299 well makes sense when it was Americans fighting traitor Americans that wanted slaves.

My Great-great grandfather was a Colonel in the Virginia Volunteers, his son attended the US Naval Academy Annapolis. He served as the Superintendent twice and became a 4 star admiral and retired as the highest ranking sailor afloat. RIP Adm. Louis N. Nulton
That times when man were man.......
RIP to all the Fallen soldiers on both sides.
Eternal memory
Looks like CGI
Very sad to see these pictures brother killing brother. My great grandfather was in the NY infantry. I still have his military uniform belt buckle. My other great great grandfather was a Commodore in the Union Navy and saw action around Vicksburg.
У нас на Украине происходит тоже самое, брат убивает брата(привет из Крыма!)
5:47 turns out wyte people fought (and died) to remove the slavery... this must be a shocker to certain people today
This war had nothing to do with slavery, it had everything to do with giving the federal government complete control.
And died to keep people enslaved. Bizarre.
@@nathanb7281 at least they did something about it, unlike anyone else.
@@gregpeterson3144 Yeah, aside from the black people who died and were beaten for doing something about it.
MALDITAS GUERRAS, Y MAS GUERRAS, CUANDO EL SER HUMANO APRENDERÁ DE UNA VEZ...??
I guess the Confederate army didnt have cameras
Naw they were losers that were too used to having slaves do everything for them while they sipped tea on the porch. That's why the pictures of Gen Lee were after his sorry ass quit. They talked a big game and loved them some slavery but were useless when we took that away from them.
The first picture is the 114th Pa. Vol. Rgt (Zouaves) doing an ambulance drill. (From the 1st. SGT. 114th Zouaves)
Ich wußte gar nicht das die 1864 schon so massive Häuser hatten. Dacht um die Zeit gab es nur diese Holzhäuser und Westernstädte ..
In 1860, the year before the American Civil War started, the U.S. Government debt was $64.8 million. Once the war began, debt grew quickly. The financial cost of the war was significant, totaling an estimated $5.2 billion..Thats the equivalent to about 90 billion dollars.
So what? Its only money
we spend that in one day now.. Sad but true
@@garylambert4549 who is getting the money?
Thanks, for this great presentation. I recommend "Ordeal by Fire: The Civil War and Reconstruction" by James M. McPherson and "The Impending Crisis: America Before the Civil War 1848 to 1861" by David M. Potter. Help clarify any illusion of what the Civil War was about. One group free; another enslaved. Civil War was inevitable.

You greatly error on labeling pictures in this video, there were no African/ black Americans until the 14th amendment July 9th 1868, three years after slaver ended. No black person was allowed to become a citizen due to the Naturalization act of 1790 by the first president and congress that restricted U.S citizens to whites aka Europeans only! Look it up. The Civil Rights Act of 1866, created after slavery ended in 1865, was intended to give freed and formerly enslaved Africans U.S birthright citizenship, but President Andrew Johnson vetoed the bill two times and it did not get ratified until 1870, thus the 14th amendment in 1868, took the citizenry portion from the Civil rights bill of 1866 to give Africans Nationwide U.S. Citizenship. The correct terminology for them prior to July 9, 1868 14th amendment were enslaved Africans, Negros( Spanish word for black), or black people. When you give them the status of U.S. Citizenship before it was achieved, you degrade historical accuracy.
so little of America was in this war. My ancestors were fisherman and cowboys. We had black people as mayors of Los Angeles. It's a fascinating time in history.
The music did not fit this.
The men wearing the straw hats in the Savage's Station photo, are members of the 16th New York. The entire regiment was gifted with the straw hats by the Colonel's wife, she was concerned about the men suffering in the summer heat in Virginia. The men liked the hats, but soon realized that they made the men exceptionally good targets for Confederate riflemen.
Great content however would have liked more time to digest the text and view the photo before the next was shown.

Unbelievable devastation. God forbid we ever have war again. Ever!

People in B&W photo's somehow attain a somewhat cartoonish quality. Colorizing these images humanizes them and brings them closer to us.
All of those freed slaves had the same look. "Now what?" Suddenly you're homeless. How strange to have homeless and hopeful overlap instantly for millions of people at one time. Must've been how been the same for Irish and Central European immigrants when they got to Ellis Island. "Well, we made it. Now what?"
It's really really stupid to move the camera over the photos, so that the viewer can't see the photos. You should hold the camera still so that the viewer can see the photo. That's the whole p point of the video.
We humans call ourselves civilized.

Liberations - Johannes Bornlöf
💥💥💥The Vice President of the Confederate States of America , Alexander H Stephens made a speech in Savannah Georgia March 21, 1861 where he said the following: "Many governments have been founded upon the principle of the subordination and serfdom of certain classes of the same race; such were and are in violation of the laws of nature. Our system commits no such violation of nature's laws. With us, all of the white race, however high or low, rich or poor, are equal in the eye of the law. Not so with the [African]. Subordination is his place. He, by nature, or by the curse against Canaan, is fitted for that condition which he occupies in our system. The architect, in the construction of buildings, lays the foundation with the proper material-the granite; then comes the brick or the marble. The substratum of our society is made of the material fitted by nature for it, and by experience we know that it is best, not only for the superior, but for the inferior race, that it should be so. It is, indeed, in conformity with the ordinance of the Creator." (Alexander, H, Stephens, March 21, 1861)😖 Note: African used in place for the Spanish word for black
"Circa 1861-1865" Ya don't say. Top tier level of effort on these, guy. Capped off with a fake clickbait thumbnail of superimposed images. Rip.

Such a waste of life, culture and wealth.
Need more time to read not enuff time to look at pics
My great-grandfather was in the Civil War, and his only brother was killed in MO, so sad for the family as they paid the ultimate price.. So my ancestor was the only one left to carry on the family's legacy. Both brothers were in the Union Army from IL My great-grandpa followed Sherman and was in GA when the war ended. I did take my granddaughter to Appomattox so she could learn about her ancestors. They died to keep the Republic together, lets hope it was all not in vain. So this is personal to my family, not just pictures for some to look at. Thks for posting.
Estados Unidos de norteamerica debe abrir los ojos, hoy está siendo atacada desde la misma casa blanca, la república está en peligro.. el presidente Biden obedece al foro de Sao Paulo, a la ONU, y no a la Constitución estadounidense.. abran los ojos, porque si cae Estados Unidos, caemos todos...
Increíble historia, yo no tengo nada que ver con EEUU, pero es muy interesante ver estas fotos, puedes ver que no existe una diferencia entre ud o yo y esas personas que estuvieron ahí, fue un punto de inflexión en la historia de EEUU que a ellos les toco vivir y es muy respetable a pesar de lo dramático que puede ser una guerra.

The South lost….
No one won when you actually research it.
they were democrats. they did say the south will rise again... in DC... and gas prices
A product of their education. That rebel flag always reminds me of surrender.
My great great grand uncle was born in Jamaica, both his parents were british and he actually traveled to the US to fight for the union side.
According to Trump, it was "beautiful."
Bro I’m not American but you should really pull you’re head in and realise the damage biden has done to you’re once great country, if you can’t realise he was right about building a wall and connect the dots on how you’re getting thousands of illegals each day don’t cry when housing prices are skyrocketing and more workers used to not having workers rights so will work for next to nothing hence undercutting you vs bad words mostly taken out of context, also the fact I bet you wouldn’t feel comfortable having biden look after you’re kids for 10 minutes that’s on you, easier to trick someone than convince you’ve been tricked

Glory to the soldiers who lost theirs lives for the freedom of the slaves
They fought to keep the South from leaving. If Lincoln said they were going to die for slaves, he had had a complete mutiny as he did in New York City.
@@humansvd3269 Just like biden says the border is all safe LOL
Uhm, slavery wasn't abolished until halfway during the war. Do you really think 1860s white peasants and factory workers cared about bIack people half a continent away, who roughly the same hard work?
@v.5442 Slavery still existed post war in the Union states and territories. It did not fully end until 1867.
Sir, I would like to see more photos depicting slavery life, the conditions they lived in, the trreatment they received, and the work they labored at.
It's only a tiny part of American history. Only 5% of Americans had "slaves". Many were employed as home help and they were treated pretty well.
@@now591 wow nice try gaslighting history. Saying only 5% owned slaves is like saying only 2% of American today have more than $200,000. but the ones that do have WAAAAAAAY more power and influence of land, laws, politics, etc but like 1% has more money than the rest of the 99% put together but would you say money is just a MINOR tiny insignificant part of of American history? "Yeah the people with all the money today, like they don't control anything, they don't fund wars, or have their own private space program, or have permission to launch thousands of satellites into space a year, in fact most of the money sat in jars on dining room tables to be saved up and used to buy bibles and feed the poor because everything was great in this pretend world i am inventing in my head and spewing to you to hide my hatred of anyone that tells the truth about history." So 5% owned slaves how MANY slaves did they own, how much of the money they made was directly because of the work of those slaves, what was the total percent of all the goods created in America the direct result of slavery. And you can fuck right the hell off with that "MANY" were "EMPLOYED" bullshit, slaves getting paid was a rare exception not the rule and and most of the ones that were paid were in the north, and even house slaves could be beat, raped and bred like cattle so their masters could sell their children as profit. so how "pretty well treated" do you think YOU would feel you were treated if your master could have you raped take your baby at birth to sell to a plantation owner to work till they died? Here is a comparison. imagine a mega company today thousands of employees and millions of dollars made every day, doing something wrong and having HR email you or being late for work or pooping on the clock are what a slave back then would be beaten for, but on the 3rd offence was death. And getting fired today which most companies can do FOR any reason without having to tell anyone why you were fired, is the equivalent of them just killing you in most cases back then. here is a partial list of death penalty crimes for a slave: Crimes of Slaves • Capital Crimes (1755) - Homicide of white person except by misadventure or in defense of master or other person in authority. - Willfully burning or destroying a stack of rice, corn or other grain. - Willfully burning or destroying any tar kiln or barrels of pitch, turpentine or rosin. - Stealing any goods or chattels whatsoever. - Deluding or enticing any slave or slaves to run away. - Willfully poisoning any person. - Instructing another slave in the knowledge of poisons. • Additional Capital Crimes (Act of 1770) - Insurrection or an attempt to incite insurrection. - Rape or attempted rape on a free white female. - Assault of a free white person with attempt to murder. - Maiming a free white person. - Arson of any kind. - Murder of another slave or free person of color. Did you catch that? death penalty for stealing ANYTHING, burning a pile of grain or a barrel of tar etc Say it again! say with your mouth that they were well treated when their life was less valuable than a pile of grain! if your current boss could legally kill you for walking off with a one dollar bill and you had no right to leave and was worked 16 hours a day 6 days a week, would you say that you were treated like a human there?
think of all the white men that never owned slaves, never made profit off their labor; that fought and died to free them.
@@now591”Employed” 🙄
Oh, it dont look that bad.
You cant smell it, the gangrene rotten limbs, the pits of shit, the burned out buildings, you cant hear the screams in the night as you try to sleep but a 15 year old boy that just had his leg blown off and amputated but still feels every burning nerve, for gods sakes why don't they give him some laudanum to knock him out so you can sleep...oh that's right the surgeons ran out of pain killer 3 days ago and our supply lines keep getting attacked. You wonder what it feels like to have your leg sawn off while you are fully conscious and being held down. A few seconds of a knife slicing the flesh back in a "V" shape around the bone then the surgeon grabs the bone saw and starts sawing, through your bone and you wish to pass out but the pain and adrenaline keep you awake. he's through the bone and he ties off any arteries and sews the flaps of the "V shape mostly together, he slowly loosens the torniquet to make sure he got all the bleeders before he closes you all the way up. It was only a minute or two but it felt like a lifetime of pain and the doc silently walks off to the next poor soul to take his leg, still covered in your blood. you look down at the stump...Oh, it doesn't look that bad...
Oh look, it’s reparations paid.
Magnificent ! If wars were won by sheer heroism, I think the South would have won, particularly at the key battle of Gettysburg. But that does not take away from the incredible courage and resolve on all sides. Ultimately there was one winner. The United States.
Photos are clearer in 1860 than today... wtf

History was rewritten, look for it and read 1803. Magnificent architecture build to last but lost in a 🔥 fire. Does stone burn? multiple examples of the past being erased, statues destroyed. It’s disgusting and disturbing to see a remake made from greed and power. That’s why one day the world will at war, the lunatics versus realism. Ha
You are talking about war where people suffer and die and you say its lunatics vs realism and end with "HA"? Talking about war and ending with maniacal laughter doesn't make a strong case for YOU being on the side of realism when you sound like a lunatic that enjoys the idea of war.
The wrong side won, that is for sure.
Sounds like you’re in the wrong country then. 🤣
You mean the war Lincoln started?
Dude literally deported his political opponent to Canada, threw people in jail without trial and destroyed literal printing presses because they spoke ill of him.
I thought that our own Civil War was bad enough in England with power at it's roots, But the American Civil War has a tragedy beyond comprehension. A massive gain for the right cause, but at a terrible cost.
They fucked it up during the reconstruction period.
It was never about a right cause, the south didn’t want to be controlled by the north so the north attacked them. This had nothing to do with slavery, it had everything to do with giving the federal government complete control over the entirety of America. America lost when the Union won the war.
No fat people what a crime!
Trump says Gettysburg was so horrible and beautiful... I see horrible all day
Trump is a third grader doing a book report on a book he didn't read.

My Great Grand Father in M O Union side made it through the war, cooler heads should have prevailed this war was a disaster for both sides. The one time I went to Gettysburg I walked the fields at night and while some will say its imagination , I could hear people that I could not locate, the place is haunted so many died just a shame
Its not.
Too bad the North kicked the South’s ASS!
Sic Semper Tyrannis! Virginia endures, and to this day she produces the finest infantry soldiers in our land!
I, as a marine agree sir
I am a native Virginian and your post embarrasses me.
And whose land would that be?
yep so sad to see republicans these days willing praise and vote for a person that says he will be a dictator, whose lawyers try to argue he would be justified to assassinate his political rivals, who created his own media company to bully and spew hate to every one that calls out his criminality after all the other companies were forced to ban him for repeated violations of the terms and conditions he agreed to when he joined the site. My dad worked in the Pentagon in the Reagan era and he constantly told my how the Russians were constantly trying to destroy America at all costs and now I see and hear republicans praising Putin openly at trump rallies and saying they would rather willingly let Russia take over America than let a democrat win again. LITERAL open and proud treason at trump rallies from the same generation that 30-40 years ago would have said they would fight to the death to wipe out anyone that tried to overthrow America. and not one person in that crowd said a word against it, many cheered the open treason. Let the MAGA republicans keep power and Virginia wont endure, it will be renamed New Stalingrad when Trump asks Putin to help him fight his enemies and gets backstabbed by Putin after they take over. Trump thinks he is some master manipulator because he scams companies out of the money he owes them but he is a fat game show host that cheats at golf, shit his pants, and sleeps through intel briefs, and Putin is a trained KGB interrogator and espionage expert, Trump has no idea what's coming and America will pay the price for this stupidity.
And it still continues to this day.!!!
Not really, but a lot of alphabet organizations like the FBI, CIA, ATF, BLM, ANTIFA and other government patsy agencies seem to want a blood bath
Yep nobody learns 😠
