Confederate soldiers.
Dead Union soldiers, with one still unburied.
Dr. Thaddeus Lowe's observation balloon.
Former slaves photographed at Fish Hall, a Hilton Head, South Carolina plantation owned by the family of Emma Pope, the wife of Confederate General Thomas Fenwick Drayton. Fish Hall was captured by Union forces following their victory over Drayton's forces at the Battle of Port Royal in November of 1861. The workers in this photo were still planting, harvesting, and ginning cotton, but would now keep the profits.
