Wow. I am greatly fascinated by those pictures. They somehow bring back too many sad memories, and offer a positive outlook towards the future.

Interesting to me is several of the photos can be adjusted to roughly mid-way between the "then & now" to give the illusion of the soldiers as spirits still hanging around in the "now"!

The Civil war is a horrible thing. Americans waging war on Americans. Really sad. I hope that will never happen again.

The basic cause of the WBTS was the North wanted force on the South.
We see the same basic action today - too much power from DC.....
