## What is Civil War Photos?

This app allows you to view and search a collection of photos of the American Civil War, 1861 - 1865, at the Library of Congress and in the public domain. The images are from the original glass plate negatives made under the supervision of Mathew Brady and Alexander Gardner plus additional sources according to the Library of Congress.

### 2/5 — Political Correctness

*2020-08-09*

I was enjoying this app, searching through it to see what all of the famous officers were I hear about in presentations and I try and look up Nathan Bedford Forrest. Nothing. It would have to be a conscious decision on the app designers part to not include him. Which is absolutely ridiculous.
