The American Civil War was the most photographed conflict of the 19th century. Images were widely copied and distributed to the public via newspapers, prints, and carte de visite. Roughly 70% of the war's documentary photography was taken by a stereo camera, which produced 3-dimensional images that could be viewed on a stereoscope.
