FEBRUARY 1ST MARKS 150 YEARS WHEN SLAVERY WAS ABOLISHED IN THESE HERE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AS PRESIDENT ABRHAM LINCOLN SIGNS THE 13 AMENDMENT FINALLY MAKING ALL MEN CREATED AS EQUAL UNDER THE LAW–USA CELEBRATES 150TH ANNIVERSARY WITH THE CIVIL WAR IN COLOR

Some 150 years since Abraham Lincoln outlawed slavery in the U.S., a collection of rare Civil War-era photographs have been brought to life through painstaking colorization.

February 1 marks National Freedom Day, honoring the signing by President Lincoln of a resolution which became the 13th Amendment to the Constitution and abolished slavery.

The photographs, seen here, depict the battle-weary men who fought in the bloody conflict between 1861 and 1865, either for the survival of the Union or a strike out into independence for the Confederates.
