- Reason
- Frankly, I consider it fairly obvious. the L. Prang & Co. series of images are considered some of the most artistic depictions of the American Civil War. I'm rather considering just going down the sequence.
- Articles in which this image appears
- Pickett's Charge, Battle of Gettysburg
- FP category for this image
- Wikipedia:Featured pictures/History/American Civil War. Yes, that doesn't exist. But by my count, we have 13 images so far, including two on the Lincoln assassination. 15 if you count the Lincoln election campaign, and they're divided between USA History and other wars. That's nearly as many as WWI has, and I have approximately 7 more images of the ACW sitting on my deviantArt account, waiting to be brought over. =)

- Also, I'd support the creation of an American Civil War category, but not placing the Lincoln assassination images in it, since the assassination did not occur during the war, which is generally understood to have ended on April 9. The 1864 election did occur during it, though it wasn't really part of it. How many US president images do we have? Is that worth a category? Chick Bowen 06:59, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
- Makes sense. Those were a little tenuous. As for presidents, that might be a bad idea: There'd be a lot of ambiguity, due to things like does a picture of Grant count as a Civil War or presidential image; what about campaign posters for failed presidential campaigns, etc.
