The title, "Fallen of the mighty conflict," frames this stereograph around the graves of Confederate soldiers in Charleston, South Carolina, a city tied to the Civil War's start at Fort Sumter in 1861. Underwood & Underwood, a New York firm that issued large numbers of stereo views, published the card around 1903, about 40 years after the war ended. By then, Confederate memorial groups and Lost Cause commemoration were shaping how many Southern communities marked their war dead. Paired images like this one were viewed through a stereoscope at home, which made distant sites like these graves familiar to Northern and Southern viewers alike.
