Who was famous civil war photographer?
The assertion that "no one took pictures...the camera hadn't been invented" as previously posted is entirely wrong. Matthew Brady was a photographer during the American Civil War. His works were somewhat reviled due to their realism, which was a new concept in war photography. There has been some speculation that some of his photos of death and destruction may have been posed. War photography existed even before then. Roger Fenton took photographs during the Crimean War of 1853.

What caused Confederate Matthew Maury to recommend torpedo warfare against the Union in the US Civil War?
Matthew Maury recommended and headed the South's use of torpedoes based on what he saw when England and Russia were involved in a conflict in the Crimean War. Because of the superiority of the British fleet, the Russians turned to torpedoes in an effort to counter the overwhelming naval strength of the British. Even though the Russians had little success with this tactic, Maury believed that their efforts were the right ones and really the only ones available to the Russians. As an aside, Maury was against slavery and secession. When it became time to make a choice, he submitted his resignation to the Naval Observatory in Washington DC and joined his comrades in his home State of Virginia.
