	History of Photography During the American Civil War
		The roots of photography were started on a sunny day in 1827 (some say 1825) by a Frenchman named Joseph Niepce who developed the first fixed image.
		The photographer and his assistant would arrive at a location where the assistant would mix the photographic chemicals and pour them on a clean glass plate.
		Finally, once placed in the camera, which had already been focused and positioned by the photographer, the photographer would quickly “expose” the plate towards the subject that he is photographing and then quickly rush to the darkroom wagon for developing.

	The Ultimate American Civil War - American History Information Guide and Reference
		The American Civil War was fought in the United States from 1861 until 1865 between the United States – forces coming mostly from the 23 northern states of the Union – and the newly-formed Confederate States of America, which consisted of 11 southern states that had declared their secession.
		One of the reasons that the US Civil War wore on as long as it did and the battles were so fierce was that leaders on both sides had formerly served in the United States Armed Forces together, many including Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee during the Mexican-American War between 1846 and 1848.
		The border States of Missouri and Maryland moved during the course of the war to end slavery, and in December 1864, the Congress proposed the 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution, barring slavery throughout the United States; the 13th Amendment was fully ratified by the end of 1865.

	Photojournalism During the Spanish Civil War
		Beyond the implications of the civil war in terms of Spain's own history, the war is viewed, retrospectively, as a prelude to the larger ideological conflicts between fascism, communism, and democracy that eventually consumed all of Europe in World War II.
		The Spanish Civil War is also remembered as a testing ground for new techniques and technologies of both twentieth-century warfare - as immortalized in the bombing of Guernica - and twentieth-century media as represented by the rise of war photography and photojournalism.
		These photographers were present throughout the duration of the Spanish Civil War from the initial uprisings in the summer of 1936 to the ultimate collapse of the Spanish Republican government in April of 1939.
