A bit of bad ass history in the midst of Trump taking back lost states is a good thing! We all come from fighters! Now you've got a bit of real history to back that ass up!!
How did they get them to stand for the photo for so long - I think they needed to stay in pose for quite a while back then. Would love to hear more of the background/story between them - how did they end up
In different camp’s ... did they reconcile - thanks for sharing pede.
My family had people on both sides of the conflict, as well. One member even has a monument/brass bust on Little Round Top. If you've been there, you've probably rubbed his nose. And I've run into one person with much darker skin than I, let's just say, who shares the same last name as some of my family. And he knew why.
Terrible times that no one wants to repeat, and the men of that time knew what was necessary despite it.
I've been to LRT, spent two days exploring that battlefield, as well as Sharpsburg and many others around the Southeast. I had two ancestors (brothers) on my father's side from Georgia who fought for the CSA and survived the war. When they enlisted, they made a pact that if they both survived they would never shave again. We have a photo of them as old men with ZZ Top beards to their belly, and we have their "mustache" coffee cups that have a little insert in them to help keep your whiskers out of the liquid. It's a strange feeling handling these mugs, knowing who they belonged to and thinking about the hardships those guys endured.
I had a great education in middle/elementary school.
Great teachers at a private school who cared for history and taught us about the civil war.
I wondered, as a 5th grader, how the country could be so divided that brother would take up arm against brother.
The last 4 years have enlightened me. Seeing my libturd of a brother believe in all the perverted shit the Democrats put out there... All because that's what he was told was the best thing to do.
And jesus I can see how propoganda tears apart a nation. And by God, it's the most evil think you could do to a nation. Its the reason they all end.
Fantastic piece of history.
Too bad they both voted for Biden.
Priceless. Please consider taking them to a genealogical library so they can scan and share them.

History is awesome.

That's so awesome. Take good care of that piece of history.
My family has a rifle made during the Civil War. Decent chance it might have been used too since my great-great-grandpa fought for Union.
Guess you need to pay reparations due to your ancestor, sorry...
Did they also vote in the Pennsylvania election?

Amazing and sad that same time we might be getting back to it.
One of these guys is a Democrat. The other fought against slavery.

Your family must be from Tennessee or Missouri or one of the states surrounding them.
My family settled in Seattle, Washington.
Well, that sucks lol
I guess Virginia maybe also
Maryland was split too.
Well I'm not sure on the Civil way but had family that fought in the Revolution
