If the south did win, I'm wondering how much longer the U.S would have gone on before outlawing slavery? Another 25 years maybe?

President Davis would have outlawed it at the time slavery went back up for voting, so in 1869.
Great collection of pics. Almost as good as the ones at my Boarding School in Vicksburg, Miss.
Its really sad that the Yankees had Confederate soldiers thinner than most jews in concentration camps.

Im sorry. The first 2 are not considered part of the True south. Their like the redheaded stepchild of the south. Not really part of it, but still loved for their try to effort.

winter sucks
The reason there was a war was that NEW states admitted to the union could not have slaves.
The states with slaves could keep them but the states with slaves said, and it's prolly true, that slavery would die out - and states wanting admittance were like what do you mean no slaves!?!?

Yes, this is true. Brother against brother, and family against family. Damn good thread DeathHand.
There is still alot buried not so deep in the ground: musket balls, lead bullets, grape shot, buckles, coins, tins, glass, etc.
I have been to 5 civil war battlefields (2 in Penn and 2 in Virginia/W Virginia and 1 in Washington) and although I was a young lad of about 10 or 11 yrs, I could see, hear and smell the fighting that covered those fields and can't wait to go back. The only problem for me is getting anything I might find back across the Peace Bridge to the northern side of Fort Erie.

Those damn racist pig soldiers should have just been stripped of their clothes and thrown in the dirt for fertilizer
I'm a southern girl myself. I ain't ashamed!

Looking at these pictures I wonder if anyone living today could have survived in those days. Notice how you don't see any fat soldiers.
People were not pampered with conveniences and machines like they are today. You had to get out and work hard to get simple things done, like cleaning the laundry, and harvesting your own food
While it was no picnic for people of color to be living in those days, it wasn't exactly a walk in the park for white people either. If you were poor, gay, female, you were subject to rape, torture, abuse. It was the Wild West Days when people got away with crimes they'd never get away with today
Also, 45% of those soldiers had STDs of which there was no cure. There was no cure for gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia, etc.
