Why do the men in 1800's war photos have their hands inside their shirts over their hearts?

Because of Napoleon. An artist who was painting Napoleon's picture, had trouble painting a realistic hand, so he told Napoleon to strike the pose, which you mentioned. The "hand inside shirt, over heart" pose.. I suppose many soldiers, wanting to be similar to Napoleon, copied his "pose."
