Did the American Civil War really happen?

There are many photos of troops standing around, but I've never seen any photos of combat
>inb4 shutter speed was too slow!
If that's your argument, I'll accept blurry photos of troops in combat

          To be fair, you can't tell what is blue in photos from those days, because they were all taken in black and white, unfortunately. The colours they are meant to portray have been lost in the sands of time. Who knows what they depict?

        It was just some genocide and bombing of cities of people who didn't want tsome NWO shit going on.

        There were laws which forbid the growing of wheat and shit.
        A lot of mystery "Fires" like in chicago, peshtigo etc.
        A lot of burned Patent offices during that time.

        It was more "tetrorism" than a war.
        They just bombed and burned cities.
        Then they pretended a war happened, what it was acutally just some extortion method by deploying some chaos.

        They had litterally:
        Bomb squats.
        They bombed the buildings to "extingish" fires.

        The whole discussion about:
        > MUH POTENTIAL technology.

        The whole story does not make sense.
        There was so much shit happening in that time, that is considered a "mystery".
        And "oh we accidentally lost all records of it".

        And then of course the wierdest narrative cementing ritual was created:
        > lets make a theatre play each year to remember the Civil war
        > memorial day
        > Reenacting the American civil war began even before the real fighting had ended. Civil War veterans recreated battles as a way to remember their fallen comrades and to teach others what the war was all about

        And this happened.
        Yeah... sure.
        How moronic is it to have a reenactment, WHEN THE WARE ACTUALLY DID NOT EVEN END?

            you don't need to be in combat when your focal length is roughly 100mm. there are also accounts of people watching the battles from afar but still close enough to see what was going on which is enough to at least capture a battle with blurry soldiers in line formation. perhaps the smoke would be hard to deal with but at least it would be an example of civil war combat photography

        A lot of horsemen died too. Serving in the cavalry wasn't really fun. being ordered to attack quarrees of infantry and artillery with nothing but a fricking sabre or lance. Didn't do that in the civil war, though. Most cavalry mainly used their pistols afaik.

    Itnwaant a war so much as a standoff that was broken when the north invaded and burnt cities in the south. It was more about paying off the revolutionary war debt the US founding fathers had borrowed from israelites to fund. The north felt they were entitled to southern plantation materials for free to pay for the war debts.

        Look into history of photography. Silver oxide takes time to be properly exposed on glass plates. Long exposure time, glass plates, heavy wooden camera frames, big glass lenses and deadly, mortal combat don't mix well.

          they got the exposure time down to 2-3 seconds 10 years prior to the war using a collodion photography. more than enough for combat in my opinion. sure, blurry but the surroundings (cannons, auxiliary, trees, etc) would be in focus and it would work enough to get the formations

            There also seem to be a lot of people in this thread who have absolutely no understanding of line doctrine.
            Units in formation stand still most of the time. They rarely manoeuvre because when the enemy shoots them they don't stay ranked up as easily. You want to be in position before you have to be in position.
            Then quite unlike the TBS movies, the lines stand still and shoot each other from a distance. They don't move in, they don't approach, they don't even charge.
            Especially by the ACW, musketry had advanced to the point where maintaining maximum range was the preferred strategy for all. The casualty rate was simply too high otherwise.
            That's why the ACW barely moved when engagements did occur.

            Point being, the ACW may well have been the single most suitable military conflict for 19th century photography.
            If there were going to be photographs of combat in action, 1862 would've been the time to take them.

    No. A civil war is different parts of the population fighting for control of the government. The south legally left the union. The war was a war of conquest by ~~*Federalists.*~~ It was a war to undo what had been done during the revolution.

                Very few people want to stand between the cannoneer and the cannonee.

                Given the self-preservation typical of the photographers I know, that alone may not have prevented action shots. However, the fact that the man standing between cannoner and cannonee is ALSO between the cannonee's last defensive fusillade and the cannoner may have reduced the number of that type of action shot that were successfully taken and developed.

                >>only head would be exposed
                His position is pretty wide open from behind, as shown by the amount of space between camera and corpse. If the enemy overran the trench from both sides, or stealthily infiltrated, they could have shot him in the back. If he was unaware of enemy presence, he could have climbed up higher to survey. Keep in mind, also, that the weapons of the time were often pretty inaccurate - it may be a wiser option for a soldier to stand tall and get a good view of enemy positions for a fraction of a second than to use up all his ammo firing from a turtle position and get overrun anyhow.

                Ok so we've got people and boats in motion with minimal blur, proving combat photography would be possible. Notice the boat in the foreground. And all these people, no major motion blur. So where's the grey vs blue combat?

          >Though early daguerreotype images required an exposure of around twenty minutes, by the early 1840s it had been reduced to about twenty seconds. Even so, photography subjects needed to remain completely still for long periods of time for the image to come out crisp and not blurred by their movement. Sometimes squirming children were put into restraints for the duration of the photo shoot. This need for stillness made posing for a picture a serious business, so the practice of smiling for the camera did not become standard until the 1920s, when technological advancements in camera production allowed for shortened exposure times.

        How would that wagon get in that position without running over the wounded behind it? Or did they just back the wagon in?

        This is not necessarily as staged as it looks.

        Two of the men are lying on blankets, which means either the "other side" shot them while they were on blankets or they were moved onto the blankets after being injured. It is reasonable to suppose that they may have run out of blankets and just had the two right behind the wagon flop there.

        While backing up a horse-drawn carriage is more annoying than backing an automobile, it's certainly possible. Video related. In addition, the horses are detachable, so the wagon could be pushed into position.

        The only bit that appears clearly staged is everyone holding still for a long-exposure phote. However, the wagon has limited capacity and the injured people have nothing better to do than lie around trying not to die; posing for the photo is unlikely to have meaningfully disrupted their medical care.

        (Given the state of medicine at the time, I'm not sure if disrupting their medical care would have made things worse or better, but that is beside the point.)

        The sign is a subtle joke. The shop is called "Sneed's Feed & Seed", where "feed" and "seed" both end in the sound "-eed", thus rhyming with the name of the owner, Sneed. The sign says that the shop was "Formerly Chuck's", implying that the two words beginning with "F" and "S" would have ended with "-uck", rhyming with "Chuck". So, when Chuck owned the shop, it would have been called "Chuck's Feeduck and Seeduck".

If not a conflict then maybe a train in full run or cowboys galloping or something like that ... cant find any? then the chance that the shuttertime was just too long has upped a lot. Find plenty? ...well maybe you are on the trail of something suspicious (which i knda doubt, look for "record of rebell yell" are the wake of the 20th century some vets were invited to record that iirc)

    I grew up in Prince William County VA and you can still to this day walk around and find war detritus all over the place, musketballs wedged in trees etc.

    You know how the left complains about gun ownership and the 2A didn't mean "assault weapons". The Civil war was heavily funded by private entities and those cannons on the battlefield were privately owned.

    It was just some genocide and bombing of cities of people who didn't want tsome NWO shit going on.

    There were laws which forbid the growing of wheat and shit.
    A lot of mystery "Fires" like in chicago, peshtigo etc.
    A lot of burned Patent offices during that time.

    It was more "tetrorism" than a war.
    They just bombed and burned cities.
    Then they pretended a war happened, what it was acutally just some extortion method by deploying some chaos.

    They had litterally:
    Bomb squats.
    They bombed the buildings to "extingish" fires.

          The key to preventing more resets is to identify the controllers and expose them. They may try and reset us again, but we must try and understand the extent of their power and the ways in which they employ them.

          Tartaria was destroyed by israelites to start this whole mess of a global society we live in now.

          Tartaria was built for wireless electrical generation ala Coronamotors. Atmospheric Energy systems.

          World War I was part of the depopulation and destruction of the various royal families and nations of Tartaria.

      Two notes:
      - One: /misc/ is not the United States of America. Posting your dumbshit PDF her does not count as legal process service to any person, group, corporation, or government. It doesn't even count as legal process service to hiromoot.
      - Two: Your legal document is schizo bullshit. The US is not a religious corporation of any sort. The Pope has no legal authority over the US and cannot revoke bar association licenses.
      - Three: a minor note, but under real laws (as opposed to papal sovereign schizo law) killing people to collect on their life insurance policies is a crime. Real law enforcement investigates suspicious deaths; should someone collect millions of dollars in life insurance payouts, both cops AND INSURANCE COMPANIES will notice and wonder if the person collecting the money had anything to do with the killing.
      - Four: Income tax is explicitly authorized in the United States Constitution; additionally, income tax was not forbidden prior to the Amendment authorizing it. Rather, corrupt Supreme Court officials ruled, falsely and without precedent, that the United States was not permitted to impose income taxation.
      - Five: The document begins with:
      >Please comment on this very interesting article, and help me research this.
      You are hereby abjured, under the authority of European Union law, which has Extraterritorial and Global Jurisdiction, to relay my analysis to Paul Stramer, Anna Maria Wilhelmina Hanna Sophia: Riezinger-von Reitzenstein von Lettow, and the administrators of all websites named in the PDF you linked.

    The cameras around at the time were the size of a tractor tire, weighed almost 50 pounds, had to stand on a cumbersome tripod, and too almost 15 minutes to snap one photograph. Not to mention all the guns that existed at the time released big jets of dark smog smoke when they fired.

    The camera was just invented, it would probably be mistaken for a cannon, therefore too dangerous. There is better excuses than that, but yeah

      >The camera was just invented
      Proper cameras were around for like 30 years before Civil War started, and development of new tech was advancing rapidly. By proper I mean they actually snap an image. SLRs were just patented when the Civil War started, so they likely wouldn't have one of those yet, but what they had was significantly better than 10+ years prior. And fast snapshots also existed, just using a different chemical combination that obvious didn't look as good as the common one

    bait thread but im gonna respond anyways

    back in ye olden days they used these things called wet plates
    essentially you blast a bunch of light onto a plate made out of a certain material (could be tin, glass, anything that worked).
    it kinda worked like a polaroid though, you needed to develop the negative.
    for this to happen, the photographer would need to set up an entire field camp darkroom with a bunch of chemicals n shit inside of it.
    now imagine having to not only set up a big ass camera to take a 5 second exposure, but also an entire darkroom with a bunch of dangerous chemicals, while minie balls and grape shot cannonballs are flying around you and youre trying to NOT die.
    thats why there are so little battlefield photographs.

      >camera too big even though some hauled theirs thousands of miles across the country to do landscapes
      ill concede to the volatility of the chemicals though, that is a decent point. but if people felt safe watching from a distance I would have tried as a photographer

    We are getting so close to the truth.

    We were invaded roughly 200 years ago. All of history as we are taught by modern institutions is a lie. The cover is for the 1000 year kingdom of Christ which ended at the dawn of the US empire.

    The year is 1270 AD. The second coming of Christ already happened. The third and final return is imminent.

    because flash photography wasnt invented yet. didnt they teach you how to make pinhole cameras in jr high anon? you had to sit still for like 2 hours to do a photo otherwise the photo would look like a spooky ghost (also why so many old photos have spooky ghosts)
