Your paper was very informal about a few subjects: the history of photography (the wet plate negative), history of the civil war (amount of lives lost), and the use of propaganda in photos.  Lincoln was one of the most photographed individuals yet I have never seen this one.  I kind of agree that this should be a candidate for the time capsule.  There is so much information about the war that we have.  There are so many photographs we have.  I don't feel that this one should be preserved.  I think your paper was awesome and I look up to you for all the research you did.  Why is this photo so discredited? Why does Brady get the credit when he didn't like all the corpses? I think that itself discredits the photo.
