The Civil war was very different in the sense that technology was taking a massive turn.This enabled people to see in black and white just really how horrible war could be. This sniper was photographed by Alexander Gardner after the battle was over.
Union forces engaged: 82,289
Confederate Forces engaged:75,000
Casualties: 51,112 (23,049 Union and 28,063 Confederate)
All in three bloody days.
