Description

BEST VIEWED LARGE Confederate Cavalry Preparing to mount a charge on the advancing Yankee troops. ( as it would have looked from 1861 to 1865 ) It was called the Civil War because commissioners from both the North and The South met under a flag of truce and laid down rules as to how the war was to be fought. Thank you for any and all comments or favs !

so, the 'rebs' are getting ready to charge!! Hope the Union soldiers are ready for it! I really like these pictures you're posting! Especially in black and white as it gives them that 'old' feeling and look. Very nice!

I think that came later...at the time, it was called, variously, 'The Rebellion', 'The War of Yankee Agression', and afterwards, 'the Recent Unpleasantness' (no foolin'...;) Great pic. One general said that with Southern Cavalry and Northern Infantry they could lick any army on Earth.

Fine photo shot! Rules during a war? Not nowadays, civilized behavior disappears quickly when the war goes on. War is a weird reminiscent of old ages but maybe never goes completely out of "fashion", as new dictators still arrive. :o(

'Civil'? given the body count it a good job they weren't un-civil :-) I'd never heard about this either, amazing what you can learn on Rendo.An amazing photo too, love re-enactments...they are far more civil..
