statues that are better replacements than confederate statues https://t.co/AB6aAt1n62
As the Union troops appeared to be flanked, reinforcements arrived in the form of the @USNavy gunboats USS Lexington and USS Choctaw. With their fire supporting them, Lieb’s men forced the Confederates to withdraw.
a few years ago, i wrote a song and Blake drew a picture about the need to take down Birmingham’s confederate monument. in the last 24 hours, the people of Birmingham did it. so Blake made some edits.
Usually this is a lighting exercise, but here is a rare real-world use of a day light change. Daniel's butt must be incredibly sore! #ConfederateMonster #daveswartzart #frankenstein #makingcomics #supportcomics #speedpainting
#OTD in 1863, General @USGrantNPS and his Army of the Tennessee surrounded @VicksburgNPS, the final major Confederate stronghold on the Mississippi River. This began a siege that would last almost seven weeks. #CivilWar
Daniel sure knows how to take care of himself! #ConfederateMonster Page 15 all done! #daveswartzart #frankenstein #supportcomics #makingcomics
Captain Charles Henry Davis was in command of the Union flotilla, having taken command only the day before. The Confederate attack caught them by surprise, and two ironclads, the USS Cincinnati and USS Mound City were rammed.
They were the last line of Confederate defense between the @USNavy and the @CityOfNOLA. The mutually-supporting forts had been built in the 1820's at the direction of President Andrew Jackson (@7thpresident), who knew all too well how New Orleans could be defended.
Finally finished page 1 - SNEAK PEEK! Working out the kinks in my process and trying to film everything is taking some time. However, I'm really digging how this is turning out! #confederatemonster #daveswartzart #frankenstein #makingcomics #indiecomics #horrorcomics
With the Union position on Cemetery Ridge in danger of being breached, General Winfield Hancock saw a Confederate brigade advancing toward a gap in his lines. He turned to Colvill, commanding the only infantry in the area, and ordered "Advance, Colonel, and take those colors!"
Jesse James was killed #OTD in 1882. Before beginning his career as a common outlaw, James served with Bloody Bill Anderson's Confederate guerrilla band in the @CivilWar & participated in the Centralia Massacre in which 24 Union soldiers were murdered. #ConfederateHeritageMonth
Elizabeth is the wife of the main character Daniel. All the characters of Confederate Monster go through a transformation. No one embodies that idea more than Elizabeth. #confederatemonster #daveswartzart #frankenstein #horrocomics #makingcomics
In recognition of April being #ConfederateHeritageMonth in many southern states, we note that William Pegram was mortally wounded #OTD while commanding a battery of Confederate artillery during the Battle of Five Forks, VA, which was a resounding victory for the Union. #CivilWar
Finished my Dr. Victor Frankenstein character sheet! My version of Victor has a hard time after he builds the Monster. #daveswartzart #confederatemonster #horrorcomics #frankenstein
My MONSTER is coming along... #daveswartzart #confederatemonster #frankenstein #FrankensteinFriday
Once it became clear this was the entire Confederate force, Canby led the rest of the Ft. Craig garrison to reinforce Roberts. Initially, Canby’s men had the upper hand, including repelling the first and only lancer charge of the war, made by a company of Texas mounted infantry.
@BrotherBeamPony Also, this is probably the most controversial thing I've ever drawn, 'cept it's the American flag and not the Confederate one. XD
#OTD in 1870 the 15th Amend. was ratified. It gave black men the right to vote. But within 10 years, former Confederates regained control of southern state governments & used restrictive voter qualifications to keep them from the polls. #AmericanDemocracy is now @GsoHistryMuseum
