Very interesting article about Civil War photography.

How Civil War Photography Changed War

THE GIST
    Photography had been around for over 20 years before the Civil War, but its flowering began just before conflict broke out.
    Photography during the Civil War had a wide-reaching impact on the public's perception on everything from their leaders to the nature of warfare.
    Images of everyday life are also depicted for the first time in the Civil War.

It is interesting how the "face of war" was brought into every household, North and South, via photography and the newspaper.
