Some of those photos are stunning. They look like they could have been taken today.

There is a reddit site dedicated to colorization of old photos like that. They have a bunch, some of the best ones are Lee on the steps of Arlington a week after the war. Another is one of Grants famous pictures, but with the colorization you can tell that he had been drinking pretty heavily either the night before or that day.
